Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Little Black Hen by Ernest Shepard was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2011. The price achieved of USD 46,875.00 (€ 31,627.42) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 50,000.00.
