Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Bows by Frances Macdonald MacNair was sold in the British Art: Victorian, Pre Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in December 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 43,750.00 (€ 48,741.38) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frances Macdonald MacNair - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Sleeping Princess, which sold at auction in June 2005 for GBP 66,000.00 (€ 97,816.17).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Bows von Frances Macdonald MacNair wurde im Dezember 2018 in der Auktion British Art: Victorian, Pre Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 43.750,00 (€ 48.741,38) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Frances Macdonald MacNair mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Sleeping Princess beobachtet, die im Juni 2005 für GBP 66.000,00 (€ 97.816,17) versteigert wurde.
