Auction result well in line with expectations

The work His Excel: G: Washington Esq: L.L.D. Late Commander in Chief of the Armies of the U.S. of America & President of the Convention of 1787 (Stauffer 2429; Hart 3; Wick 21) by Charles Willson Peale was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January last year. The price achieved of USD 44,100.00 (€ 39,332.86) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Willson Peale achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work George Washington at Princeton in January 2006 with an auction result of USD 21,296,000.00 (€ 17,516,038.82).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit His Excel: G: Washington Esq: L.L.D. Late Commander in Chief of the Armies of the U.S. of America & President of the Convention of 1787 (Stauffer 2429; Hart 3; Wick 21) von Charles Willson Peale kam im Januar letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 44.100,00 (€ 39.332,86) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Willson Peale erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit George Washington at Princeton im Januar 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 21.296.000,00 (€ 17.516.038,82).
