GEORGE ROMNEY (DALTON-IN-FURNESS 1734-1802 KENDAL)
The Descent from the Cross
graphite
6 ½ x 7 ¾ in. (16.5 x 19.7 cm)

Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

The work The Descent from the Cross by George Romney was worth USD 8,190.00 (€ 7,157.84) to a buyer in February 2024. This price was achieved in the auction Old Master & British Drawings at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 2,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Romney achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Edward Wortley Montagu (1713–1776) in July 2014 with an auction result of GBP 4,002,500.00 (€ 5,048,410.94).
