This artwork by John Banting achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July last year. In the The Isabel Goldsmith Collection: Selected Pre-Raphaelite and Symbolist Art auction, the work Figure with Heart sold for GBP 27,720.00 (€ 33,102.60) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00.
