Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
The work A cherub on a tortoise by Dorothy Tennant was worth GBP 3,055.00 (€ 4,256.38) to a buyer in May 2003. This price was achieved in the auction BRITISH AND VICTORIAN PICTURES at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 500.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Dorothy Tennant - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Bathers, which sold at auction in April 2006 for USD 14,400.00 (€ 11,406.84).
