Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Lady lying on a divan by Konstantin Somov was sold in the Important Russian Art auction at Christies in London in November 2017. It changed hands for a price of GBP 75,000.00 (€ 85,136.16) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Admittedly, works by Konstantin Somov have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Boxer in November 2011 with an auction result of GBP 713,250.00 (€ 832,646.34).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 75.000,00 (€ 85.136,16) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00.
