Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Towards 'Up On The Roof'; Self-Portrait By A 19Th Century Photographer by Michael Leonard was worth GBP 6,300.00 (€ 6,946.77) to a buyer in September 2020. This price was achieved in the auction Made in Britain at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Michael Leonard - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Scaffolders, which sold at auction in September 2017 for GBP 15,000.00 (€ 17,017.69).
