The work Portrait of Vera Repina, the artist's wife, reading by Ilya Repin was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2019. It achieved a price of GBP 231,250.00 (€ 271,544.04), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 54%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ilya Repin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Parisian Café in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 4,521,250.00 (€ 5,001,922.73).
