This artwork by Margaret Keane achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Los Angeles in August this year. In the American Art Online auction, the work The Protector sold for USD 10,880.00 (€ 10,037.83) - well above the upper estimate of USD 6,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Margaret Keane; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The Masquerade sold at auction in August this year with the realized price of USD 12,800.00 (€ 11,809.21).
