Auction result misses estimated price range

In November 2001 a collector was able to acquire the work Spring Morning at Balmaha Bay, Loch Lomond by David Donaldson for GBP 4,700.00 (€ 7,479.18). This price was achieved in the auction The Scottish Sale including pictures from the at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Donaldson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Young girl in an interior, which sold at auction in October 2003 for GBP 10,516.00 (€ 15,359.57).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
