Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2001 Christies in London held the auction BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLOURS AND ILLUST, which included the work "And another little biff won't do her any harm" by Mabel Lucie Attwell. The price achieved of GBP 1,645.00 (€ 2,687.70) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mabel Lucie Attwell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work We're going on a ride on dear old quack - all the way there and all the way back., which sold at auction in June 2002 for GBP 5,287.50 (€ 8,178.57).
