H.R.H. Queen Victoria (1819-1901)
A fairy visiting the nursery
signed and dated 'Victoria.1835' (lower right, on the original mount)
pencil and watercolour
7½ x 6½ in. (19 x 16.5 cm.)

Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

The work A fairy visiting the nursery by Queen Victoria was worth GBP 5,000.00 (€ 6,247.26) to a buyer in June 2014. This price was achieved in the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00 many times over. Admittedly, works by Queen Victoria have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Stag Shot By John Brown in December 2017 with an auction result of GBP 45,000.00 (€ 50,640.91).
