Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by George Dunlop Leslie could be acquired at Sothebys in London in December 2007 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Victorian & Edwardian auction, the work The Daughters Of Eve changed hands for GBP 168,500.00 (€ 228,962.92) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Dunlop Leslie - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pot-Pourri, which sold at auction in November 2002 for GBP 446,650.00 (€ 699,430.87).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Dunlop Leslie konnte im Dezember 2007 bei Sothebys in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Victorian & Edwardian wechselte die Arbeit The Daughters Of Eve für GBP 168.500,00 (€ 228.962,92) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 200.000,00 – 300.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von George Dunlop Leslie mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Pot-Pourri beobachtet, die im November 2002 für GBP 446.650,00 (€ 699.430,87) versteigert wurde.
