Description
2019
Pen, ink, watercolour paper, signed.
250 x 235mm
Alternative artwork for Feet in the Water, the first instalment of the 'QB Papers' published in 2019.
Quentin writes of the series: ‘In recent years I have found myself working increasingly in sequences of drawings which explore subjects and techniques which interest me. These sequences are the origins of The QB Papers; they vary in approach and tone, and between reality and fantasy. But I hope that each in its own way will appeal to anyone who likes looking at drawings'.

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Quentin Blake achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2020. In the Quentin Blake: 200 Drawings auction, the work Feet in the Water #4 sold for GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,792.72) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 900.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Quentin Blake achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Grand High Witch in July 2018 with an auction result of GBP 35,000.00 (€ 39,242.70).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Quentin Blake erzielte im Dezember 2020 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Quentin Blake: 200 Drawings wurde die Arbeit Feet in the Water #4 für GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.792,72) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 900,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Quentin Blake erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Grand High Witch im Juli 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 35.000,00 (€ 39.242,70).
