Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In June 2005 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours, which included the work Three Flower Studies of Roses And Pansies by Beatrix Potter. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,000.00 (€ 4,446.19), 20% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juni 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit Three Flower Studies of Roses And Pansies von Beatrix Potter zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 4.446,19) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
