Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A First Visit To The Dentist by Edward Hughes was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2008. The price achieved of GBP 11,875.00 (€ 14,357.77) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Hughes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work British an English Artist Collecting Costumes In Brittany, which sold at auction in February 2018 for USD 50,000.00 (€ 40,946.69).
