Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Return From Mecca by Charles Whymper was sold in the 19th Century European Art auction at Christies in London in June 2013. The price achieved of GBP 1,625.00 (€ 1,896.67) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Whymper - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Red grouse in flight, which sold at auction in December 2017 for GBP 5,625.00 (€ 6,330.11).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Return From Mecca von Charles Whymper wurde im Juni 2013 in der Auktion 19th Century European Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.625,00 (€ 1.896,67) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles Whymper mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Red grouse in flight beobachtet, die im Dezember 2017 für GBP 5.625,00 (€ 6.330,11) versteigert wurde.
