In March this year Bonhams held the auction 19th Century and British Impressionist Art, which included the work Study for the portrait of Maria Leathart by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 48,180.00 (€ 54,814.06), 61% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dante Gabriel Rossetti achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Pandora in May 2014 with an auction result of GBP 5,346,500.00 (€ 6,571,020.97).

Im März diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion 19th Century and British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study for the portrait of Maria Leathart von Dante Gabriel Rossetti zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 48.180,00 (€ 54.814,06) und damit 61% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dante Gabriel Rossetti erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Pandora im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.346.500,00 (€ 6.571.020,97).
