Description

13 ½ x 9 ½ in. (34.3 x 24.2 cm.)

Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Elizabeth Mary Watt could be acquired at Christies in London in September 2014 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Neil Wilson Collection: A Romantic Vision auction, the work Love is blind changed hands for GBP 437.50 (€ 561.95) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. Admittedly, works by Elizabeth Mary Watt have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Fairy Tale In The Forest in May 2008 with an auction result of GBP 3,125.00 (€ 3,975.14).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Elizabeth Mary Watt konnte im September 2014 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Neil Wilson Collection: A Romantic Vision wechselte die Arbeit Love is blind für GBP 437,50 (€ 561,95) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Elizabeth Mary Watt auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Fairy Tale In The Forest im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.125,00 (€ 3.975,14).
