Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2005 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours, which included the work Studies of The Robin In The Tale of Peter Rabbit (Recto) And A Microscopic Drawing (Verso) by Beatrix Potter. The price achieved of GBP 840.00 (€ 1,244.93) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 700.00 – 900.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Beatrix Potter achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gentleman Rabbit With Letter ("Benjamin Bunny") in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 70,850.00 (€ 87,377.73).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit Studies of The Robin In The Tale of Peter Rabbit (Recto) And A Microscopic Drawing (Verso) von Beatrix Potter zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 840,00 (€ 1.244,93) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 700,00 – 900,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Beatrix Potter erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Gentleman Rabbit With Letter ("Benjamin Bunny") im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 70.850,00 (€ 87.377,73).
