Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Edmund Dulac achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2021. In the British and European Art auction, the work "For some we loved, the loveliest and the best That from his Vintage rolling Time has prest, Have drunk their Cup a Round or two before, And one by one crept silently to rest." sold for GBP 18,750.00 (€ 21,988.26) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edmund Dulac - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Little Mermaid (At the mere sight of the bright liquid they drew back in terror), which sold at auction in June 2010 for GBP 55,250.00 (€ 67,189.14).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Edmund Dulac erzielte im Juli 2021 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis.
