Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2020 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours, which included the work A view in Werrington Park, Cornwall by Francis Towne. The price achieved of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,346.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Towne achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lake Of Albano, Morning Sun Rising Over Rocca Del Papa in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 289,250.00 (€ 347,790.53).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2020 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit A view in Werrington Park, Cornwall von Francis Towne zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.346,27) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Towne erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lake Of Albano, Morning Sun Rising Over Rocca Del Papa im Juli 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 289.250,00 (€ 347.790,53).
