This artwork by Eric Ravilious achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in January 2020. In the The Delighted Eye: Works from the Collection of Allen and Beryl Freer auction, the work The Young Men in the Fiery Furnace sold for GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,271.09) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eric Ravilious achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Aldeburgh Bathing Machines in November 2016 with an auction result of GBP 269,000.00 (€ 317,393.55).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Eric Ravilious erzielte im Januar 2020 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Delighted Eye: Works from the Collection of Allen and Beryl Freer wurde die Arbeit The Young Men in the Fiery Furnace für GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.271,09) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eric Ravilious erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Aldeburgh Bathing Machines im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 269.000,00 (€ 317.393,55).
