Upper estimate price exceeded by 77 %.
This artwork by William Holman Hunt achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in November 2013. In the British & Irish Art auction, the work Studies For The Lady Of Shalott sold for GBP 21,250.00 (€ 25,571.53) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Holman Hunt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tuscan Girl Plaiting Straw in December 2013 with an auction result of GBP 3,330,500.00 (€ 4,006,074.97).

Dieses Kunstwerk von William Holman Hunt erzielte im November 2013 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British & Irish Art wurde die Arbeit Studies For The Lady Of Shalott für GBP 21.250,00 (€ 25.571,53) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Holman Hunt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tuscan Girl Plaiting Straw im Dezember 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.330.500,00 (€ 4.006.074,97).
