Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2003 a collector was able to acquire the work 'Say Old Man, Does Your Wife Pick Your Suits? No - Only The Pockets!' by Donald Fraser Gould McGill for GBP 293.75 (€ 416.06). This price was achieved in the auction British & Continental Watercolours including Original Book at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Donald Fraser Gould McGill have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Look at' er! Look at' er! in June 2002 with an auction result of GBP 1,410.00 (€ 2,180.95).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember 2003 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit 'Say Old Man, Does Your Wife Pick Your Suits? No - Only The Pockets!' von Donald Fraser Gould McGill für GBP 293,75 (€ 416,06) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion British & Continental Watercolours including Original Book bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Donald Fraser Gould McGill auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Look at' er! Look at' er! im Juni 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.410,00 (€ 2.180,95).
