Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A Midsummer's Night Dream: Puck on Top of a Column by William Heath Robinson was sold in the Modern British and Irish Art auction at Bonhams in London in April 2021. The price achieved of GBP 1,785.00 (€ 2,053.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Admittedly, works by William Heath Robinson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Sane Economy of Space at a Wedding Reception in a Small Flat in April 2011 with an auction result of USD 17,500.00 (€ 11,807.57).
