Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Dream Blocks by Jessie Willcox Smith was sold in the American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture auction at Sothebys in New York in December 2011. The price achieved of USD 122,500.00 (€ 94,426.89) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jessie Willcox Smith - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work How Doth the Little Busy Bee, which sold at auction in April 2011 for USD 386,500.00 (€ 260,778.62).
