Upper estimate price exceeded by 75 %.

This artwork by Kate Greenaway achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2010. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work A young girl dressed up for Christmas, wearing a fur coat and muff and carrying a holly branch sold for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,089.98) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kate Greenaway - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Study of a young girl in a garden, a border of nasturtiums and other plants beyond, which sold at auction in June 2004 for GBP 8,365.00 (€ 12,449.63).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Kate Greenaway erzielte im Dezember 2010 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wurde die Arbeit A young girl dressed up for Christmas, wearing a fur coat and muff and carrying a holly branch für GBP 5.250,00 (€ 6.089,98) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Kate Greenaway mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Study of a young girl in a garden, a border of nasturtiums and other plants beyond beobachtet, die im Juni 2004 für GBP 8.365,00 (€ 12.449,63) versteigert wurde.
