Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2004 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours including Original, which included the work Lion and lioness surveying their territory (illustrated); and Tiger roaring by Elsie Henderson. The price achieved of GBP 418.25 (€ 632.07) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Elsie Henderson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Four Watercolors, Including Tigers, A Lion, Frogs And Swans, which sold at auction in October 2019 for USD 1,875.00 (€ 1,680.86).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours including Original durch, in der auch die Arbeit Lion and lioness surveying their territory (illustrated); and Tiger roaring von Elsie Henderson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 418,25 (€ 632,07) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Elsie Henderson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Four Watercolors, Including Tigers, A Lion, Frogs And Swans beobachtet, die im Oktober 2019 für USD 1.875,00 (€ 1.680,86) versteigert wurde.
