Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Rhymes Of Real Children by Jessie Willcox Smith was sold in the American Art auction at Sothebys in New York in November 2015. The result of USD 100,000.00 (€ 94,679.04) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jessie Willcox Smith - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work How Doth the Little Busy Bee, which sold at auction in April 2011 for USD 386,500.00 (€ 260,778.62).
