The work 'Proserpine' by Hiram Powers was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2004. It achieved a price of USD 125,100.00 (€ 102,398.30), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 56%. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Hiram Powers; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Bust Of George Washington sold at auction in December 2008 with the realized price of USD 182,500.00 (€ 131,115.74).
