Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, which included the work The First Music Lesson by Charles West Cope. The price achieved of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,212.20) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles West Cope - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Awakening Of King Lear By The Kiss Of Cordelia, which sold at auction in May 2013 for GBP 32,500.00 (€ 37,997.57).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2018 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The First Music Lesson von Charles West Cope zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.212,20) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles West Cope mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Awakening Of King Lear By The Kiss Of Cordelia beobachtet, die im Mai 2013 für GBP 32.500,00 (€ 37.997,57) versteigert wurde.
