Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The sun breaking through clouds over the Bay of Naples; Figures on the waterfront at Naples, a pair the first 22.8 x 32.7cm (9 x 12 7/8in); the second 24.2 x 33.6cm (9 1/2 x 13 1/4in). (2) by Harriet Cheney was auctioned at Bonhams in London in March 2021. The price achieved of GBP 1,275.00 (€ 1,497.80) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Harriet Cheney achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An album of forty-three portrait studies from the circle of the Cheney family (vol. I) in Italy and elsewhere, the sitters including: Marquis and Marchioness of Morando; Teresa, Marchese Morando1; Mme Morando; Lady Elizabeth Foster2, afterwards Eliz in October 2005 with an auction result of GBP 16,800.00 (€ 24,774

(2) von Harriet Cheney kam im März 2021 bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion.
