Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Summer by George Henry Boughton was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2003. The price achieved of USD 8,365.00 (€ 7,674.31) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 7,000.00 – 9,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Henry Boughton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Tanagraean Pastoral, which sold at auction in October 2000 for USD 15,275.00 (€ 18,000.24).
