Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Portrait of a young lady, bust-length by Emma Sandys was worth GBP 17,500.00 (€ 24,674.78) to a buyer in June 2015. This price was achieved in the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 3,500.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Emma Sandys - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Mary Emma Jones, bust-length, wearing a pearl necklace, which sold at auction in July 2018 for GBP 62,500.00 (€ 70,076.24).
