Auction result well in line with expectations
The work "The Bells" by Edmund Dulac was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2012. It changed hands for a price of GBP 18,750.00 (€ 23,123.96) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. 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).
