Upper estimate price exceeded by 35 %.
The work John Wycliffe Taylor, at the age of five by John Everett Millais was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2018. It achieved a price of GBP 162,500.00 (€ 181,039.41), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 35%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Everett Millais achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sisters in July 2013 with an auction result of GBP 2,301,875.00 (€ 2,630,293.40).
