Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Andromeda by Edward John Poynter was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2021. The price achieved of GBP 200,000.00 (€ 234,541.47) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward John Poynter - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Orpheus and Eurydice, which sold at auction in December 2020 for GBP 437,500.00 (€ 488,726.49).
