Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Water Carrier by William Robinson Leigh was sold in the Stewards of the West: The Knobloch Collection auction at Christies in New York in May last year. Here, the upper estimate of USD 180,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 195,300.00 (€ 181,996.09). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Robinson Leigh - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Narrowing Circle, which sold at auction in November 2016 for USD 727,500.00 (€ 687,748.16).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Für andere Arbeiten von William Robinson Leigh mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Narrowing Circle beobachtet, die im November 2016 für USD 727.500,00 (€ 687.748,16) versteigert wurde.
