Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Double Sided Miniature Portrait of A Gentleman And A Boy by Mary Way was sold in the Important American Furniture, Folk Art and Prints auction at Christies in New York in October 2004. The price achieved of USD 9,560.00 (€ 7,500.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mary Way - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Miniature of a Lady, which sold at auction in January 2005 for USD 22,800.00 (€ 17,472.60).
