Upper estimate price exceeded by 62 %.
The work The Eruption of the Mountain,-or-the horrors of the "bocca del inferno,"-with the head of the protector Saint Januaris carried in procession by Cardinal Archeveque of the Lazaroni. by James Gillray was auctioned at Bonhams in London in December 2021. It achieved a price of GBP 2,422.50 (€ 2,889.53), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 62%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Gillray achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work ‘Consequences Of A Successful French Invasion... Or... We Fly On The Wings Of The Wind To Save The Irish Catholics From Persecution’ in March 2018 with an auction result of GBP 47,500.00 (€ 54,081.37).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 62 % übertroffen
