Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2006 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian Pictures, which included the work Portrait of Benjamin Flight (1767-1846), Seated Three-Quarter-Length, At A Table By An Organ by George Dawe. The price achieved of GBP 2,280.00 (€ 3,266.83) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Dawe achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Grand Duke Nicholas, Later Emperor Nicholas I (1825-55), On Horseback in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 108,000.00 (€ 160,383.38).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Benjamin Flight (1767-1846), Seated Three-Quarter-Length, At A Table By An Organ von George Dawe zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.280,00 (€ 3.266,83) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Dawe erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Grand Duke Nicholas, Later Emperor Nicholas I (1825-55), On Horseback im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 108.000,00 (€ 160.383,38).
