The work One Evening in Spring by Helen Layfield Bradley was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2008. It achieved a price of GBP 57,650.00 (€ 72,871.53), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 65%. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Helen Layfield Bradley; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Our First Morning in Blackpool sold at auction in November 2007 with the realized price of GBP 94,100.00 (€ 131,764.35).
