Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Prospect Of Gatton Park, Surrey, From The Lake, With Rustics In The Foreground by George Barret was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2013. 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 80,500.00 (€ 91,985.28) 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Prospect Of Gatton Park, Surrey, From The Lake, With Rustics In The Foreground von George Barret kam im Juli 2013 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 80.500,00 (€ 91.985,28) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von George Barret auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit 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 im Dezember 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 481.250,00 (€ 558.248,55).
