A top price for Alfred Walter Williams - as previously expected
In May 2002 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian Pictures, which included the work Children on a bank of a tranquil river, a cottage beyond by Alfred Walter Williams. The price achieved of GBP 3,525.00 (€ 5,520.20) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Children on a bank of a tranquil river, a cottage beyond is the most expensive artwork by Alfred Walter Williams that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Mai 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Children on a bank of a tranquil river, a cottage beyond von Alfred Walter Williams zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.525,00 (€ 5.520,20) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Children on a bank of a tranquil river, a cottage beyond das teuerste Kunstwerk von Alfred Walter Williams, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
