A top price for Henry Merwin Shrady
When the work George Washington At Valley Forge by Henry Merwin Shrady was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 200,000.00 (€ 189,071.66). This high result makes George Washington At Valley Forge the most expensive artwork by Henry Merwin Shrady that we have observed at auctions so far.
