A top price for Frederick James Shields - as previously expected

The work Mary Magdalene by Frederick James Shields was sold in the The Nicolette Wernick Collection British Watercolours and Paintings (1800-1950) auction at Christies in London in June 2010. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 22,500.00 (€ 27,362.09) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Mary Magdalene is the most expensive artwork by Frederick James Shields that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Mary Magdalene von Frederick James Shields wurde im Juni 2010 in der Auktion The Nicolette Wernick Collection British Watercolours and Paintings (1800-1950) bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 22.500,00 (€ 27.362,09) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Mary Magdalene das teuerste Kunstwerk von Frederick James Shields, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
