Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
The work The Water Carrier by George de Forest Brush was sold in the Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in May 2005. It achieved a price of USD 50,400.00 (€ 40,813.02), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 68%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George de Forest Brush achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Council of the War Party in December 2005 with an auction result of USD 2,592,000.00 (€ 2,188,819.46).
