Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Xerxes appointing his generals for the Grecian Expedition by Sydney Herbert was sold in the Victorian and British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in June 2010. It changed hands for a price of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,776.44) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00.
