Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Stealing Beauty Away by Edward Francis Burney was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 250.00 (€ 262.57). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Francis Burney achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Marriage of Peleus And Thetis On Mount Pelion in June 2007 with an auction result of GBP 14,400.00 (€ 21,368.88).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Stealing Beauty Away von Edward Francis Burney im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 250,00 (€ 262,57) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Francis Burney erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Marriage of Peleus And Thetis On Mount Pelion im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 14.400,00 (€ 21.368,88).
