Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A young gentleman in double-breasted blue coat with gilt buttons, powdered hair by Frederick Buck was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2005. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 200.00 – 300.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 216.00 (€ 317.33) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frederick Buck achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A young lady, facing right in ruffle bordered white silk dress, yellow sash, blue hat with yellow ribbon in her long curling brown hair in June 2003 with an auction result of GBP 2,987.50 (€ 4,293.20).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A young gentleman in double-breasted blue coat with gilt buttons, powdered hair von Frederick Buck kam im November 2005 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200,00 – 300,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 216,00 (€ 317,33) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frederick Buck erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A young lady, facing right in ruffle bordered white silk dress, yellow sash, blue hat with yellow ribbon in her long curling brown hair im Juni 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.987,50 (€ 4.293,20).
