A top price for Stanhope Alexander Forbes - as previously expected
The work The Quarry Team by Stanhope Alexander Forbes was sold in the Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction at Sothebys in London in July 2018. The price achieved of GBP 237,500.00 (€ 266,289.72) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Quarry Team is the most expensive artwork by Stanhope Alexander Forbes that we have observed at auctions so far.
