Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Four sheets of anatomical studies of birds: Whinchat and stonechat; Linnet; Sedge Warbler and grasshopper warbler; and Yellowhammer by Mildred E. Eldridge was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,931.77). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mildred E. Eldridge - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Hare, Drawn At Aberdaron, Gwynedd, which sold at auction in December 2017 for GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,440.15).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Four sheets of anatomical studies of birds: Whinchat and stonechat; Linnet; Sedge Warbler and grasshopper warbler; and Yellowhammer von Mildred E. Eldridge im Juli 2021 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.931,77) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Mildred E. Eldridge mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Hare, Drawn At Aberdaron, Gwynedd beobachtet, die im Dezember 2017 für GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.440,15) versteigert wurde.
