A top price for William Henry Wheelwright - as previously expected

In November 2007 Sothebys in New York held the auction Sporting Art, which included the work British The Sporting Life: 12 Paintings Mounted As A Four Fold Screen Variously Depicting Sporting Pursuits by William Henry Wheelwright. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 55,000.00 (€ 37,445.53) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, British The Sporting Life: 12 Paintings Mounted As A Four Fold Screen Variously Depicting Sporting Pursuits is the most expensive artwork by William Henry Wheelwright that we have observed at auctions so far.
