A top price for Louis Abrahams - as previously expected

The work A Sketchbook Including Figure Studies, Portraits, Académies, Caricatures, Animals, Putti, And Landscapes by Louis Abrahams was sold in the Australian Art auction at Christies in London in December 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,375.00 (€ 4,923.42) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Sketchbook Including Figure Studies, Portraits, Académies, Caricatures, Animals, Putti, And Landscapes is the most expensive artwork by Louis Abrahams that we have observed at auctions so far.
