Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2021 a collector was able to acquire the work A Wooded River Landscape With Drovers by Benjamin Barker of Bath for GBP 1,912.50 (€ 2,265.80). This price was achieved in the auction Old Master Paintings at Bonhams and was even below the estimate range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Benjamin Barker of Bath - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A wooded landscape with figures on a track, a bridge beyond, which sold at auction in May 2012 for GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,787.23).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2021 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit A Wooded River Landscape With Drovers von Benjamin Barker of Bath für GBP 1.912,50 (€ 2.265,80) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Master Paintings bei Bonhams erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.500,00 – 3.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Benjamin Barker of Bath mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A wooded landscape with figures on a track, a bridge beyond beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.787,23) versteigert wurde.
