Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by George du Maurier achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2004. In the British and Continental Watercolours including Original Book auction, the work 'A drama of the drawing room' sold for GBP 1,015.75 (€ 1,437.57) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 400.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von George du Maurier erzielte im Dezember 2004 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours including Original Book wurde die Arbeit 'A drama of the drawing room' für GBP 1.015,75 (€ 1.437,57) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 400,00. 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).
