Sold at the lower estimate price
In December 2014 Christies in New York held the auction Creatures, Great and Small, which included the work A Double Wattled Cassowary; A Mandrill; And A Duck Billed Platypus (Illustrated) by Peter Barrett. The result of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,287.33) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Peter Barrett - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A quantity of illustrations including: A family of orang-utans; A large gathering of guinea baboons; A mouse opossum on a twig; A haitian solenodon searching for food; A kangaroo with a joey in her pouch; Two manatees swimming; Two manatees on the se, which sold at auction in December 2001 for GBP 1,645.00 (€ 2,687.70).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis

Für andere Arbeiten von Peter Barrett mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A quantity of illustrations including: A family of orang-utans; A large gathering of guinea baboons; A mouse opossum on a twig; A haitian solenodon searching for food; A kangaroo with a joey in her pouch; Two manatees swimming; Two manatees on the se beobachtet, die im Dezember 2001 für GBP 1.645,00 (€ 2.687,70) versteigert wurde.
