In November 2019 Christies in London held the auction Modern | British Art, which included the work Thomas Hardy by Eric Kennington. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 8,750.00 (€ 10,274.64), 46% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Eric Kennington have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Trees at the Somme in October 2007 with an auction result of GBP 50,900.00 (€ 73,095.75).

Im November 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern | British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Thomas Hardy von Eric Kennington zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 8.750,00 (€ 10.274,64) und damit 46% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Eric Kennington auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Trees at the Somme im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 50.900,00 (€ 73.095,75).
