This artwork by Margareta de Heer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2010. In the Old Master & British Drawings auction, the work A Cockchafer On A Branch, Two Butterflies, A Moth And A Small Beetle Above, And A Landscape Behind sold for GBP 15,000.00 (€ 18,035.81) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Margareta de Heer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A red cabbage, a snail, a butterfly, a dragonfly, a bee and a wood louse, in a landscape, which sold at auction in May 2012 for EUR 61,000.00.

Dieses Kunstwerk von Margareta de Heer erzielte im Juli 2010 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings wurde die Arbeit A Cockchafer On A Branch, Two Butterflies, A Moth And A Small Beetle Above, And A Landscape Behind für GBP 15.000,00 (€ 18.035,81) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 8.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Margareta de Heer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A red cabbage, a snail, a butterfly, a dragonfly, a bee and a wood louse, in a landscape beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für EUR 61.000,00 versteigert wurde.
