Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Challenge by Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2018. The price achieved of GBP 17,500.00 (€ 19,621.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work And all generations shall call her blessed, which sold at auction in December 2020 for GBP 40,000.00 (€ 44,683.57).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Challenge von Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale kam im Juli 2018 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 17.500,00 (€ 19.621,35) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit And all generations shall call her blessed beobachtet, die im Dezember 2020 für GBP 40.000,00 (€ 44.683,57) versteigert wurde.
