Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2002 Christies in London held the auction British, Victorian and Scottish Pictures including Pictures, which included the work Figures unloading a haybarge in a winter landscape by Edward Williams. The price achieved of GBP 4,112.50 (€ 6,722.85) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,500.00 – 4,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Williams - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A river estuary with a windmill and cottages, boats in the foreground and cattle watering at the river edge, which sold at auction in December 2000 for GBP 16,450.00 (€ 26,204.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion British, Victorian and Scottish Pictures including Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Figures unloading a haybarge in a winter landscape von Edward Williams zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.112,50 (€ 6.722,85) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.500,00 – 4.500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Edward Williams mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A river estuary with a windmill and cottages, boats in the foreground and cattle watering at the river edge beobachtet, die im Dezember 2000 für GBP 16.450,00 (€ 26.204,70) versteigert wurde.
