The work At the doorway by Charles James Lewis was sold in the Victorian & British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in November 2012. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,387.72), 38% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles James Lewis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Woodland Ramble "When daisies pied and violets blue And Lady-smocks all silver white, and cuckoo buds of yellow hue" - William Shakespeare, Love's Labour's Lost, Act V, Scene 2 in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 48,500.00 (€ 67,912.55).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit At the doorway von Charles James Lewis wurde im November 2012 in der Auktion Victorian & British Impressionist Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.387,72) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles James Lewis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Woodland Ramble "When daisies pied and violets blue And Lady-smocks all silver white, and cuckoo buds of yellow hue" - William Shakespeare, Love's Labour's Lost, Act V, Scene 2 im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 48.500,00 (€ 67.912,55).
