Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Danish A North African Port by Niels Simonsen was sold in the European Paintings including The Orientalist Sale, Symbolism and the Poetic Vision and Spanish Painting auction at Sothebys in London in November 2008. The price achieved of GBP 10,625.00 (€ 12,846.42) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00.
