Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Fale (hut) of Chief Tugaga Safune Village, Savaii Island, Samo ; and Snow patched stream by John William Bentley was sold in the At Home - British and Continental Pictures & Works on Paper auction at Christies in London in April 2003. It achieved a price of GBP 705.00 (€ 918.57), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 18%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John William Bentley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Village Road in October 2003 with an auction result of USD 11,352.50 (€ 9,779.05).
