Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by William Powell Frith achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2021. In the European & British Art auction, the work A Study for In the Conservatory: A Critical Moment sold for GBP 15,120.00 (€ 17,731.34) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Powell Frith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Derby Day: the 'first study' for the celebrated painting in December 2011 with an auction result of GBP 505,250.00 (€ 605,108.24).

Dieses Kunstwerk von William Powell Frith erzielte im Juli 2021 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion European & British Art wurde die Arbeit A Study for In the Conservatory: A Critical Moment für GBP 15.120,00 (€ 17.731,34) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Powell Frith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Derby Day: the 'first study' for the celebrated painting im Dezember 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 505.250,00 (€ 605.108,24).
