Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.
In July 2021 Christies in London held the auction British and European Art, which included the work Portrait head of a woman, probably a member of the Mure family by Evelyn de Morgan. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 18,750.00 (€ 21,988.26), 56% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Evelyn de Morgan achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gloria in Excelsis in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 622,500.00 (€ 695,387.98).

Im Juli 2021 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait head of a woman, probably a member of the Mure family von Evelyn de Morgan zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 18.750,00 (€ 21.988,26) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Evelyn de Morgan erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Gloria in Excelsis im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 622.500,00 (€ 695.387,98).
