Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Lancelot And Elaine - "But To Be With You Still And See Your Face, To Serve You And To Follow You Thr'O The World" by Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale was auctioned at Sothebys in Olympia in November 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 4,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,040.00 (€ 3,029.46). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work And all generations shall call her blessed in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 40,000.00 (€ 44,683.57).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Lancelot And Elaine - "But To Be With You Still And See Your Face, To Serve You And To Follow You Thr'O The World" von Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale im November 2006 bei Sothebys in Olympia versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.040,00 (€ 3.029,46) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit And all generations shall call her blessed im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 40.000,00 (€ 44.683,57).
