Estimate: 100 - 150 GBP
Price realised: 1.920 GBP
Dorothy Webster Hawksley (1884-1970)
Diana the huntress, a fawn at her side
signed 'D. Hawksley' (lower right)
bodycolour on silk
10 3/8 x 9¼ in. (26.5 x 23.5 cm.)

Artwork auctioned at 12 times the upper estimate price

When the work Diana the huntress, a fawn at her side by Dorothy Hawksley was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 150.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 12 times as high at GBP 1,920.00 (€ 2,814.15). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Dorothy Hawksley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Les Indiscrètes, which sold at auction in July 2015 for GBP 5,000.00 (€ 7,088.32).

Kunstwerk zum Zwölffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Diana the huntress, a fawn at her side von Dorothy Hawksley im Januar 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 150,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 1.920,00 (€ 2.814,15) mehr als zwölfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Dorothy Hawksley mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Les Indiscrètes beobachtet, die im Juli 2015 für GBP 5.000,00 (€ 7.088,32) versteigert wurde.
