Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2010 Christies in London held the auction Victorian & British Impressionist Pictures Including Drawings and Watercolours, which included the work Portrait of the Hon. Mrs Ernest Guinness, standing, full-length, wearing an emerald dress and feather by Francis Bernard Dicksee. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 121,250.00 (€ 140,649.63), 21% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Francis Bernard Dicksee have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work British Yseult in February 2019 with an auction result of USD 1,155,000.00 (€ 1,015,027.68).
