Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2014 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale, which included the work Four Studies Of English Freshwater Fish: Chub, Tench, Perch And Carp by Frederick Richard Lee. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 17,700.81). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frederick Richard Lee - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Rock Of Gibraltar, which sold at auction in December 2009 for GBP 44,450.00 (€ 50,141.16).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember 2014 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Four Studies Of English Freshwater Fish: Chub, Tench, Perch And Carp von Frederick Richard Lee zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 17.700,81) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Frederick Richard Lee mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Rock Of Gibraltar beobachtet, die im Dezember 2009 für GBP 44.450,00 (€ 50.141,16) versteigert wurde.
