Gouache on vellum, laid down on panel;

235 by 240 mm

Upper estimate price exceeded by 88 %.

This artwork by Margareta de Heer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2010. In the Old Master & British Drawings auction, the work A Cockchafer On A Branch, Two Butterflies, A Moth And A Small Beetle Above, And A Landscape Behind sold for GBP 15,000.00 (€ 18,035.81) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Margareta de Heer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A red cabbage, a snail, a butterfly, a dragonfly, a bee and a wood louse, in a landscape, which sold at auction in May 2012 for EUR 61,000.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Margareta de Heer erzielte im Juli 2010 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings wurde die Arbeit A Cockchafer On A Branch, Two Butterflies, A Moth And A Small Beetle Above, And A Landscape Behind für GBP 15.000,00 (€ 18.035,81) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 8.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Margareta de Heer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A red cabbage, a snail, a butterfly, a dragonfly, a bee and a wood louse, in a landscape beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für EUR 61.000,00 versteigert wurde.
