Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.
The work Ornithological Studies, from Hayes' Portraits: Eight Plates by William Hayes was sold in the The House Sale auction at Christies in New York in March 2003. It achieved a price of USD 4,182.50 (€ 3,837.16), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 39%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Hayes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Drawings of birds, sixty original watercolours, 1791-1792 in May last year with an auction result of GBP 37,800.00 (€ 44,468.10).

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Drawings of birds, sixty original watercolours, 1791-1792 im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 37.800,00 (€ 44.468,10).
