A top price for Francis Derwent Wood - as previously expected
The work Torso, 1900 by Francis Derwent Wood was sold in the The Fine Art Society: 142 Years on New Bond Street auction at Sothebys in London in February 2019. The price achieved of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,478.10) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Torso, 1900 is the most expensive artwork by Francis Derwent Wood that we have observed at auctions so far.
