Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
When the work Niña En El Jardín Del Artista, Granada (Young Girl In The Garden Of The Artist'S Studio, Granada) by Mariano Fortuny was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at GBP 72,500.00 (€ 101,518.76). Admittedly, works by Mariano Fortuny have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Spanish arabe Delante De Un Tapiz (Arab Before A Tapestry) in May 2011 with an auction result of GBP 735,650.00 (€ 841,218.03).

Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Mariano Fortuny auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Spanish arabe Delante De Un Tapiz (Arab Before A Tapestry) im Mai 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 735.650,00 (€ 841.218,03).
