Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Skaters, A Scene On Duddingston Loch Near Edinburgh by Charles Lees was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2011. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 100,000.00 – 200,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 121,250.00 (€ 138,649.75) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Lees - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The finished sketch for The Golfers: A Grand Match played on the St. Andrews Links by Sir David Baird, Bt. and Sir Ralph Anstruther, Bt. of Balcaskie, against Major Playfair and John Campbell, Esq., of Glensaddell, in 1850, which sold at auction in May 2012 for GBP 337,250.00 (€ 420,198.66).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Skaters, A Scene On Duddingston Loch Near Edinburgh von Charles Lees kam im Mai 2011 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 100.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 121.250,00 (€ 138.649,75) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles Lees mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The finished sketch for The Golfers: A Grand Match played on the St. Andrews Links by Sir David Baird, Bt. and Sir Ralph Anstruther, Bt. of Balcaskie, against Major Playfair and John Campbell, Esq., of Glensaddell, in 1850 beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für GBP 337.250,00 (€ 420.198,66) versteigert wurde.
