Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work The Villa Borghese, Rome by Robert Henry Cheney was worth GBP 1,920.00 (€ 2,831.42) to a buyer in October 2005. This price was achieved in the auction WATERCOLOURS OF THE GRAND TOUR FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 500.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Henry Cheney - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A panoramic view of the Farnesina and the city of Rome, which sold at auction in June 2002 for GBP 4,182.50 (€ 6,469.38).
