Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A collection of four pencil drawings, 1915-16, comprising a study for 'St. Martin's Church, Leicester', two street scenes, each signed and dated, and a portrait of a young boy, in varying conditions by Robert Sargent Austin was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 540.00 (€ 802.02) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Sargent Austin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work a collection of etchings comprising: The Bride; The Curtain; The Lace-Seller; Evening; Café Scene; Sea Bouquet; Munich and At Prayer, on wove and laid papers, each signed in pencil, with margins, all apparently in good condition, three framed, which sold at auction in May 2005 for GBP 1,320.00 (€ 1,948.73).
