The »bidding war« ended at USD 17,500.00 (€ 15,775.71), 46% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by William Matthew Prior have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Group of Family Portraits in January 2005 with an auction result of USD 156,000.00 (€ 119,549.39).
