Upper estimate price exceeded by 61 %.
The work Violet and Lily, the daughters of Edmund Routledge by Walter Crane was sold in the Victorian Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in July 2018. It achieved a price of GBP 11,250.00 (€ 12,613.72), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 61%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Walter Crane achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Fate of Persephone that fair field Of Enna, where Proserpine, gathering flowers, Herself a fairer flower, by gloomy Dis Was gathered. (Paradise Lost, Book IV, lines 268-71) in June 2002 with an auction result of GBP 424,650.00 (€ 656,837.38).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 61 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Violet and Lily, the daughters of Edmund Routledge von Walter Crane wurde im Juli 2018 in der Auktion Victorian Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 11.250,00 (€ 12.613,72) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 61%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Walter Crane erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Fate of Persephone that fair field Of Enna, where Proserpine, gathering flowers, Herself a fairer flower, by gloomy Dis Was gathered. (Paradise Lost, Book IV, lines 268-71) im Juni 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 424.650,00 (€ 656.837,38).
