A top price for Mildred E. Eldridge
When the work Studies Of A Woodcock And Lapwing by Mildred E. Eldridge was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,440.15). This high result makes Studies Of A Woodcock And Lapwing the most expensive artwork by Mildred E. Eldridge that we have observed at auctions so far.
