Canadian couple's rare painting fails to reach reserve price at ...
TORONTO (CP) - "Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May," the 1909 John William Waterhouse painting inspired by a Robert Herrick poem of the same name, failed to gather the windfall that a Canadian couple was looking for at auction Wednesday. Sotheby's in New York said the oil-on-canvas work depicting young women picking flowers in a meadow failed to reach its reserve price - the confidential, minimum price that the seller is willing to accept. Bidding on the painting stopped at US$1.35 million and the couple withdrew it from sale, said Sotheby's, which had estimated it would fetch between US$1.75 million and $2.5 million. The auction estimate wasn't unreasonable, since pieces by the famed British artist typically sell for high prices, said Ben Doller, vice-chairman of Sotheby's.
