A top price for Edward Matthew Ward - as previously expected
The work The Last Parting Of Marie Antoinette And Her Son by Edward Matthew Ward was sold in the Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in December 2014. The price achieved of GBP 92,500.00 (€ 119,078.18) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Last Parting Of Marie Antoinette And Her Son is the most expensive artwork by Edward Matthew Ward that we have observed at auctions so far.

Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Last Parting Of Marie Antoinette And Her Son das teuerste Kunstwerk von Edward Matthew Ward, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
