A top price for Edwin Henry Landseer
In February 2003 Christies in London held the auction THE FORBES COLLECTION OF VICTORIAN PICTURES AND WORKS OF ART, which included the work 'Scene in Chillingham Park: Portrait of Lord Ossulston', or 'Death of the Wild Bull' by Edwin Henry Landseer. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,200,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,271,650.00 (€ 1,856,568.89). With this result, 'Scene in Chillingham Park: Portrait of Lord Ossulston', or 'Death of the Wild Bull' is even the most expensive work of art by Edwin Henry Landseer that we have observed at auctions so far.
