Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The golden-winged fly catcher from Pensylvania & the spotted tortoise Butterfly, from China by George Edwards was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2006. It changed hands for a price of GBP 780.00 (€ 1,158.32) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00.
