This artwork by Leonard McComb achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2010. In the 20th Century British Art auction, the work Red Roses in a Glass sold for GBP 2,625.00 (€ 3,156.27) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Leonard McComb - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fish, which sold at auction in June 2007 for GBP 5,760.00 (€ 8,547.55).
