Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Counseller, King, Warrior, Mother & Child In The Tomb by William Blake was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2017. The price achieved of USD 125,000.00 (€ 115,805.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. Admittedly, works by William Blake have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Gambols Of Ghosts According With Their Affections Previous To The Final Judgement in January 2013 with an auction result of USD 722,500.00 (€ 531,875.74).
