Auction result well in line with expectations
The work On the river, near Marlow by Charles James Lewis was sold in the British, Continental & Russian Pictures auction at Christies in London in October 2007. The price achieved of GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,590.16) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit On the river, near Marlow von Charles James Lewis wurde im Oktober 2007 in der Auktion British, Continental & Russian Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.500,00 (€ 3.590,16) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
