Johannes Irgens (presumably a gift from the artist. Norwegian diplomat and politician, and from 1908-10 Norwegian ambassador to the Court of St. James, Irgens (1869-1939) was a friend of the artist. They met at the Norwegian Students Association in Kristiania (Oslo), around 1891 when Thaulow was chairman of the Association. Irgens himself later became chairman in 1897); thence by descent to the present owner

Sold at the lower estimate price

In December 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction 19th Century European Paintings, which included the work Norwegian the Lysaker River In Winter by Frits Thaulow. The result of GBP 30,000.00 (€ 33,422.66) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frits Thaulow - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Snødekt by med elv og foss (Snow-covered town with waterfall), which sold at auction in May 2008 for GBP 96,500.00 (€ 122,752.22).

Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis

Im Dezember 2018 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion 19th Century European Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Norwegian the Lysaker River In Winter von Frits Thaulow zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 30.000,00 (€ 33.422,66) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Frits Thaulow mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Snødekt by med elv og foss (Snow-covered town with waterfall) beobachtet, die im Mai 2008 für GBP 96.500,00 (€ 122.752,22) versteigert wurde.
