Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A captive audience by William Edward Frank Britten was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2004. The price achieved of GBP 1,792.50 (€ 2,683.21) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Edward Frank Britten - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pantomine; Comedy, which sold at auction in October 2007 for GBP 4,000.00 (€ 5,744.26).
