A top price for George Jones - as previously expected

The work The Battle of Waterloo by George Jones was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2015. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 50,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 56,250.00 (€ 79,743.61) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Battle of Waterloo is the most expensive artwork by George Jones that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit The Battle of Waterloo von George Jones kam im Juli 2015 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 50.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 56.250,00 (€ 79.743,61) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Battle of Waterloo das teuerste Kunstwerk von George Jones, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
