This artwork by Ilya Repin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2017. In the Important Russian Art auction, the work Self-portrait sold for GBP 40,000.00 (€ 45,405.95) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Ilya Repin erzielte im November 2017 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Important Russian Art wurde die Arbeit Self-portrait für GBP 40.000,00 (€ 45.405,95) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ilya Repin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Parisian Café im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.521.250,00 (€ 5.001.922,73).
