Sold at the lower estimate price
In March 2008 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Portrait of a lady, bust-length, in oriental dress by Edward Villiers Rippingille. The result of GBP 500.00 (€ 628.12) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 500.00 – 800.00. Admittedly, works by Edward Villiers Rippingille have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Settling The Account in November 2005 with an auction result of GBP 3,600.00 (€ 5,288.85).
