Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work A mounted officer of the 2nd Lifeguards by Richard Simkin was sold in the Christie's Interiors Including Paintings, Drawings & Watercolours From The Collection of The Late John Appleby auction at Christies in London in March 2011. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 800.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 875.00 (€ 990.06). Admittedly, works by Richard Simkin have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work 10th Prince of Wales's Own Royal Hussars; and three others in January 2001 with an auction result of USD 5,287.50 (€ 5,680.60).
