Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2011 Sothebys in London held the auction Victorian & Edwardian Art, which included the work Hard Hit by William Quiller Orchardson. It changed hands for a price of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 31,446.33) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Quiller Orchardson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'The Queen of the Swords' A dozen cutlasses, selected hastily from an old arm-chest, and whose rusted hue bespoke how seldom they left the sheath, armed the same number of young Zetlanders, with whom mingled six maidens, led by Minna Troil; and the, which sold at auction in February 2003 for GBP 83,650.00 (€

Für andere Arbeiten von William Quiller Orchardson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 'The Queen of the Swords' A dozen cutlasses, selected hastily from an old arm-chest, and whose rusted hue bespoke how seldom they left the sheath, armed the same number of young Zetlanders, with whom mingled six maidens, led by Minna Troil; and the beobachtet, die im Februar 2003 für GBP 83.650,00 (€ 122.126,36) versteigert wurde.
