Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Picnic Party by Edmund Blair Leighton was sold in the Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction at Sothebys in London in July 2017. The price achieved of GBP 71,250.00 (€ 79,504.06) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edmund Blair Leighton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work God Speed in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 707,750.00 (€ 1,121,870.87).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Picnic Party von Edmund Blair Leighton wurde im Juli 2017 in der Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 71.250,00 (€ 79.504,06) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edmund Blair Leighton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit God Speed im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 707.750,00 (€ 1.121.870,87).
