In September 2001 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings, which included the work Sheep grazing in a moorland landscape by Charles Edward Brittan. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 305.50 (€ 493.25), 53% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Charles Edward Brittan have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Sheep grazing on the moors below low-lying clouds (illustrated); and Dusk, on the moors in September 2005 with an auction result of GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,289.41).

Im September 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sheep grazing in a moorland landscape von Charles Edward Brittan zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 305,50 (€ 493,25) und damit 53% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Charles Edward Brittan auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Sheep grazing on the moors below low-lying clouds (illustrated); and Dusk, on the moors im September 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.289,41).
