Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Woodland Scene With A Horseman Crossing A Stream by George Barret was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 88,900.00 (€ 114,443.78). 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).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Woodland Scene With A Horseman Crossing A Stream von George Barret im Dezember 2014 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 88.900,00 (€ 114.443,78) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. 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).
