Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2016 Christies in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art, which included the work Phoebus dath nan tonn (The sun colouring the waves) by Duncan MacGregor Whyte. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,630.62) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Duncan MacGregor Whyte have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Beach at Perth in November 2019 with an auction result of AUD 12,200.00 (€ 11,071.79).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Phoebus dath nan tonn (The sun colouring the waves) von Duncan MacGregor Whyte zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.250,00 (€ 2.630,62) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Duncan MacGregor Whyte auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Beach at Perth im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 12.200,00 (€ 11.071,79).
