A top price for The Monogrammist IS
When the work Portrait Of An Elderly Woman, Looking Left by The Monogrammist IS was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 11 times as high at GBP 577,250.00 (€ 669,608.26). This high result makes Portrait Of An Elderly Woman, Looking Left the most expensive artwork by The Monogrammist IS that we have observed at auctions so far.
