Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
The work Portrait of a Girl in a Black Dress by William Matthew Prior was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2005. It achieved a price of USD 9,000.00 (€ 7,288.04), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Matthew Prior achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Group of Family Portraits in January 2005 with an auction result of USD 156,000.00 (€ 119,549.39).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
