The work The dogs dance by Betty Swanwick was sold in the BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLOURS AND ILLUST auction at Christies in London in December 2001. It achieved a price of GBP 1,762.50 (€ 2,879.68), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 47%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Betty Swanwick - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Flight of the Doves, which sold at auction in February 2008 for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 8,992.23).
