Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Dawn by Francis Derwent Wood was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2016. The price achieved of GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,384.36) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francis Derwent Wood - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Torso, 1900, which sold at auction in February 2019 for GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,478.10).
