Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Dream of Fair Women by Edward Henry Corbould was auctioned at Christies in London in February 2003, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 9,560.00 (€ 13,957.30). Other works by Edward Henry Corbould have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in February 2003 by the work Cold at GBP 11,950.00 (€ 17,446.62).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Dream of Fair Women von Edward Henry Corbould im Februar 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 9.560,00 (€ 13.957,30) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Edward Henry Corbould wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Februar 2003 die Arbeit Cold mit GBP 11.950,00 (€ 17.446,62).
