Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work All In A Day'S Work by George du Maurier for GBP 500.00 (€ 604.54). This price was achieved in the auction A GREAT BRITISH COLLECTION: The pictures collected by Sir David and Lady Scott, sold to benefit the Finnis Scott Foundation at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George du Maurier achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Two Thrones' in November 2000 with an auction result of GBP 8,812.50 (€ 14,403.68).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit All In A Day'S Work von George du Maurier für GBP 500,00 (€ 604,54) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion A GREAT BRITISH COLLECTION: The pictures collected by Sir David and Lady Scott, sold to benefit the Finnis Scott Foundation bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George du Maurier erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Two Thrones' im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.812,50 (€ 14.403,68).
