Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Christian Persecutors At The Entrance To The Catacombs by Henri Ippolitovich Semiradsky was sold in the Russian Art Evening auction at Sothebys in London in November 2007. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 412,500.00 (€ 577,606.72), 18% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henri Ippolitovich Semiradsky - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Un Naufragé Mendiant, which sold at auction in November 2013 for GBP 1,082,500.00 (€ 1,302,643.87).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
