A top price for George Frederick Watts

In June 2001 Christies in London held the auction IMPORTANT BRITISH & IRISH ART, which included the work Hope by George Frederick Watts. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 773,750.00 (€ 1,285,352.70), 55% above the upper estimate. This high result makes Hope the most expensive artwork by George Frederick Watts that we have observed at auctions so far.
