This artwork by John Francis Murphy achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March 2005. In the Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction, the work Peaceful Valley sold for USD 15,600.00 (€ 12,028.68) - well above the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Francis Murphy - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An Autumn Afternoon, which sold at auction in June 2000 for USD 28,200.00 (€ 29,544.26).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
