Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The artist's sketchbook including views of Teneriffe, H.M.S. "Fly" at Trincomalee, India, Trincomalee, Indonesia, a panorama of St Helena, Penang and Jamaica by Captain Richard Aldworth Oliver was sold in the Topographical Pictures auction at Christies in London in December 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,092.07) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Captain Richard Aldworth Oliver have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Sketches in the New Hebrides and New Caledonia in December 2016 with an auction result of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 32,151.96).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The artist's sketchbook including views of Teneriffe, H.M.S. "Fly" at Trincomalee, India, Trincomalee, Indonesia, a panorama of St Helena, Penang and Jamaica von Captain Richard Aldworth Oliver wurde im Dezember 2016 in der Auktion Topographical Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.092,07) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Captain Richard Aldworth Oliver auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Sketches in the New Hebrides and New Caledonia im Dezember 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 32.151,96).
