Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by William Crotch could be acquired at Christies in London in November 2010 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Collection of the Late John Appleby: A Channel Island Treasure House auction, the work Three views of Windsor: Julius Caesar's Tower; Caesar's Tower, The Lock House and Wyattville Tower; and St. George's Chapel and Mausoleum (illustrated) changed hands for GBP 750.00 (€ 896.25) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Crotch - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A view of Windsor Castle from Clewer Lane, which sold at auction in June 2004 for GBP 1,553.50 (€ 2,312.07).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Crotch konnte im November 2010 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Collection of the Late John Appleby: A Channel Island Treasure House wechselte die Arbeit Three views of Windsor: Julius Caesar's Tower; Caesar's Tower, The Lock House and Wyattville Tower; and St. George's Chapel and Mausoleum (illustrated) für GBP 750,00 (€ 896,25) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00. Für andere Arbeiten von William Crotch mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A view of Windsor Castle from Clewer Lane beobachtet, die im Juni 2004 für GBP 1.553,50 (€ 2.312,07) versteigert wurde.
