Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2003 Christies in London held the auction British & Continental Watercolours including Original Book, which included the work An Exmoor Pool by Charles Edward Brittan. The price achieved of GBP 446.50 (€ 632.41) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Edward Brittan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sheep grazing on the moors below low-lying clouds (illustrated); and Dusk, on the moors, which sold at auction in September 2005 for GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,289.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion British & Continental Watercolours including Original Book durch, in der auch die Arbeit An Exmoor Pool von Charles Edward Brittan zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 446,50 (€ 632,41) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles Edward Brittan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sheep grazing on the moors below low-lying clouds (illustrated); and Dusk, on the moors beobachtet, die im September 2005 für GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.289,41) versteigert wurde.
