Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Portrait Of A Lady by Arthur William Devis was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 23,750.00 (€ 30,020.80). Admittedly, works by Arthur William Devis have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait of the children of Benjamin Goldsmid, with a pony and a dog in a landscape in May last year with an auction result of GBP 201,600.00 (€ 237,163.21).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady von Arthur William Devis im Juni 2008 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 23.750,00 (€ 30.020,80) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Arthur William Devis auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait of the children of Benjamin Goldsmid, with a pony and a dog in a landscape im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 201.600,00 (€ 237.163,21).
