Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.
The work Fragonading in the Park (i); Helping the gardener (ii); Study of a pig (iii) by Ernest Shepard was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2018. It achieved a price of GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,255.94), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 67%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ernest Shepard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work "Here Is Edward Bear, Coming Downstairs Now, Bump, Bump, Bump, On The Back Of His Head, Behind Christopher Robin." in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 139,250.00 (€ 171,733.92).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
