Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Isle of Ischia by Ercole Gigante was sold in the British and Continental Watercolours including Original auction at Christies in London in July 2004. The price achieved of GBP 1,015.75 (€ 1,535.02) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Admittedly, works by Ercole Gigante have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Carrying Fruit Before Ischia; And Carrying Water At Dusk Before A Temple On The Baja Coast, Italy in June 2013 with an auction result of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,589.74).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ercole Gigante auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Carrying Fruit Before Ischia; And Carrying Water At Dusk Before A Temple On The Baja Coast, Italy im Juni 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.589,74).
