Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Napoleon working the Gun at Toulon by George Cruikshank was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2004. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 100.00 – 300.00, the actual price achieved of USD 143.40 (€ 105.92) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Cruikshank achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Study for 'The Highland Whisky-Still' in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 7,409.00 (€ 10,816.91).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Napoleon working the Gun at Toulon von George Cruikshank kam im Dezember 2004 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 100,00 – 300,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 143,40 (€ 105,92) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Cruikshank erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Study for 'The Highland Whisky-Still' im Februar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.409,00 (€ 10.816,91).
