Auction result well in line with expectations
The work King Lear and Cordelia by Edward Matthew Ward was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2021. The price achieved of GBP 37,800.00 (€ 44,328.34) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Matthew Ward - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Last Parting Of Marie Antoinette And Her Son, which sold at auction in December 2014 for GBP 92,500.00 (€ 119,078.18).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit King Lear and Cordelia von Edward Matthew Ward kam im Juli 2021 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 37.800,00 (€ 44.328,34) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Edward Matthew Ward mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Last Parting Of Marie Antoinette And Her Son beobachtet, die im Dezember 2014 für GBP 92.500,00 (€ 119.078,18) versteigert wurde.
