Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work George Washington by Gilbert Stuart was worth USD 975,000.00 (€ 878,932.66) to a buyer in January 2020. This price was achieved in the auction Important American Furniture, Folk Art and Silver at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 300,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gilbert Stuart achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work George Washington (Vaughan type) in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 11,562,500.00 (€ 9,907,883.46).
