Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by George Barret could be acquired at Christies in London in September 2013 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Collection of Professor Sir Albert Richardson, P.R.A. auction, the work Farm-labourers conversing in a field changed hands for GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,482.55) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Barret achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Barret konnte im September 2013 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Collection of Professor Sir Albert Richardson, P.R.A. wechselte die Arbeit Farm-labourers conversing in a field für GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.482,55) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Barret erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte 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).
