This artwork by Svetoslav Roerich achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in December 2021. In the The Russian Sale auction, the work 'Naggar' unframed sold for GBP 21,500.00 (€ 25,644.99) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 10,000.00.

Dieses Kunstwerk von Svetoslav Roerich erzielte im Dezember 2021 bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Russian Sale wurde die Arbeit 'Naggar' unframed für GBP 21.500,00 (€ 25.644,99) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 10.000,00.
