A top price for William Pether
In November 2007 Christies in London held the auction Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes, which included the work A self-portrait of the artist, seated at his drawing board holding a pencil; easel and palette in background by William Pether. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 10,000.00 (€ 14,002.59), 25% above the upper estimate. With this result, A self-portrait of the artist, seated at his drawing board holding a pencil; easel and palette in background is even the most expensive work of art by William Pether that we have observed at auctions so far.
