The work Paying The Legacies by George Smith was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2017. It achieved a price of GBP 21,250.00 (€ 23,913.76), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 42%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Smith - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Home - Be It Ever So Humble, which sold at auction in July 2007 for GBP 54,000.00 (€ 80,202.47).
