Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Principal Street at Agra by John Murray was sold in the 19C INDIAN PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE KANWARDIP GUJRAL COLLECTION auction at Christies in London in September 2001. The price achieved of GBP 7,050.00 (€ 11,382.74) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 6,000.00 – 9,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Murray - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pavillion and Mosque Attached to the Taj, which sold at auction in October 2017 for USD 30,000.00 (€ 25,755.49).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Principal Street at Agra von John Murray wurde im September 2001 in der Auktion 19C INDIAN PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE KANWARDIP GUJRAL COLLECTION bei Christies in London versteigert.
