Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A rest before the city gates; and The muleteer by Joseph Austin Benwell was sold in the 19th Century European Art auction at Christies in London in October 2008. It changed hands for a price of GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,505.26) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Admittedly, works by Joseph Austin Benwell have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Caravan Passing The Statues of Memnon In The Plain of Goorna At Thebes in April 2006 with an auction result of USD 31,200.00 (€ 24,714.83).
