Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Broken Bridge by Francis Danby was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings auction at Sothebys in London in April 2013. It changed hands for a price of GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,850.43) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Danby achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A view of the Avon at Clifton, Bristol in July 2014 with an auction result of GBP 110,500.00 (€ 139,375.24).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Broken Bridge von Francis Danby wurde im April 2013 in der Auktion Old Master & British Paintings bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.850,43) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Danby erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A view of the Avon at Clifton, Bristol im Juli 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 110.500,00 (€ 139.375,24).
