Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A classical landscape with fishermen and a washerwoman, a hilltop villa and mountains beyond by George Barret was sold in the Old Master & 19th Century Paintings, Drawings & Watercolours (Day Sale) auction at Christies in London in December 2010. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 85,250.00 (€ 98,889.74) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by George Barret have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A wooded river landscape with a man fishing in the foreground, a shepherd playing a flute beside a flock of sheep and a town beyond; and A wooded river landscape with fishermen in a boat, a ruined building beyond and figures crossing a bridge in December 2010 with an auction result of GBP 481,250.00 (€ 558,248.55).
