Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Samuel Henry Alken achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in October 2021. In the Napoleon BonaparteThe British Sale auction, the work The Funeral Procession Of Arthur, Duke Of Wellington Overall 13.3 X 2062Cm sold for GBP 1,785.00 (€ 2,114.74) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Samuel Henry Alken achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Start for the Derby; and Winning the Derby in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 118,750.00 (€ 105,687.08).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Samuel Henry Alken erzielte im Oktober 2021 bei Bonhams einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Napoleon BonaparteThe British Sale wurde die Arbeit The Funeral Procession Of Arthur, Duke Of Wellington Overall 13.3 X 2062Cm für GBP 1.785,00 (€ 2.114,74) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Samuel Henry Alken erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Start for the Derby; and Winning the Derby im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 118.750,00 (€ 105.687,08).
