This artwork by Dorothy Wilding achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2006. In the Silver, Furniture and Works of Art from the Collection of H.R.H. The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon auction, the work H.R.H. The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, 1952 sold for GBP 960.00 (€ 1,389.10) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Dorothy Wilding - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Queen Elizabeth II, 1952, which sold at auction in November this year for EUR 4,788.00.
