Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2008 Christies in London held the auction Exploration and Travel, which included the work Eugenia corniflora (Queensland); Crinum sp. Lily (Queensland); Acalypha (Papua New Guinea); and Flower study by Marian Ellis Rowan. The price achieved of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 10,273.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. Admittedly, works by Marian Ellis Rowan have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Decorated Screen with Wildflowers, c.1880 in November 2021 with an auction result of AUD 59,040.00 (€ 52,307.96).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Exploration and Travel durch, in der auch die Arbeit Eugenia corniflora (Queensland); Crinum sp. Lily (Queensland); Acalypha (Papua New Guinea); and Flower study von Marian Ellis Rowan zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 10.273,24) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Marian Ellis Rowan auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Decorated Screen with Wildflowers, c.1880 im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 59.040,00 (€ 52.307,96).
