The work Untitled (Tilottama) by Raja Ravi Varma was sold in the Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art auction at Sothebys in New York in March 2018. It achieved a price of USD 795,000.00 (€ 645,292.21), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 33%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Raja Ravi Varma - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (Damayanti), which sold at auction in March 2017 for USD 1,692,500.00 (€ 1,582,071.42).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
