A top price for Samuel Melton Fisher - as previously expected
The work Revellers at the Carnival, Venice by Samuel Melton Fisher was sold in the Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in July 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 20,625.00 (€ 24,506.96) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Revellers at the Carnival, Venice is the most expensive artwork by Samuel Melton Fisher that we have observed at auctions so far.
