Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2001 Christies in London held the auction BRITISH AND VICTORIAN PAINTINGS, INCLUDING SCOTTISH PICTURES, which included the work Figures resting by a cottage in an extensive river estuary landscape by Edward Charles Williams. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 6,462.50 (€ 10,427.89) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Charles Williams - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A gypsy encampment in a wooded landscape, which sold at auction in June 2004 for GBP 15,535.00 (€ 23,120.73).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion BRITISH AND VICTORIAN PAINTINGS, INCLUDING SCOTTISH PICTURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit Figures resting by a cottage in an extensive river estuary landscape von Edward Charles Williams zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 6.462,50 (€ 10.427,89) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Edward Charles Williams mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A gypsy encampment in a wooded landscape beobachtet, die im Juni 2004 für GBP 15.535,00 (€ 23.120,73) versteigert wurde.
