Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Contemplation by Augustus Leopold Egg was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2013. The price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,283.43) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00.

In the melancholy of her sickness, she desired to see a true looking-glass, into which she had not looked for twenty years. in November 2002 with an auction result of GBP 38,240.00 (€ 59,881.87).
