Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Cleopatra reclining in reverie, surrounded by attendants with Alexandria in the distance beyond by George Jones was sold in the British Art on Paper including the Collection and Studio of auction at Christies in London in March 2003. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 700.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 705.00 (€ 1,021.28). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Jones achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Battle of Waterloo in July 2015 with an auction result of GBP 56,250.00 (€ 79,743.61).
