Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2013 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings including French Masterworks from the Dormeuil Collection, which included the work In Place by Robert Dighton. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,125.00 (€ 3,570.86) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by Robert Dighton have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in July 2013 the work Tally Ho! was auctioned for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 4,999.20).
