19th Century European Paintings

RESULTS

The sale was led by Harald Sohlberg’s rare masterpiece From Værvågen, The Fisherman’s Cottage, which doubled its estimate to sell for £1.2 million. This far exceeded the previous auction record achieved at Sotheby’s in 1999, the last time a major painting by the artist was seen at auction. International bidding also led to above-estimate prices for works by Peder Severin Krøyer, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Alexander Koester, and Cornelis Springer.
