Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.
The work Study of a lady, perhaps Lavinia de Irujo (1794 - after 1855) by Henry Fuseli was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January last year. It achieved a price of USD 31,500.00 (€ 28,094.90), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Fuseli achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The incubus leaving two young women in October 2021 with an auction result of USD 3,510,000.00 (€ 3,038,434.90).

Die Arbeit Study of a lady, perhaps Lavinia de Irujo (1794 - after 1855) von Henry Fuseli kam im Januar letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 31.500,00 (€ 28.094,90) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 58%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Fuseli erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The incubus leaving two young women im Oktober 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.510.000,00 (€ 3.038.434,90).
