A top price for George Heming Mason
In February 2003 Christies in London held the auction THE FORBES COLLECTION OF VICTORIAN PICTURES AND WORKS OF ART, which included the work A Drinking Fountain in the Campagna by George Heming Mason. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 8,365.00 (€ 12,212.64). With this result, A Drinking Fountain in the Campagna is even the most expensive work of art by George Heming Mason that we have observed at auctions so far.

Mit diesem Ergebnis ist A Drinking Fountain in the Campagna sogar das teuerste Kunstwerk von George Heming Mason, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
