SINGER & SONS, FROME SOMERSET, 52cm high (20in high). by Frederic Leighton was sold in the The Male Form auction at Bonhams in London in June 2021. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 20,250.00 (€ 23,596.51). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frederic Leighton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Golden Hours in June 2016 with an auction result of GBP 3,274,500.00 (€ 3,930,468.55).
