Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A bay hunter with two playful spaniels by George Stubbs was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2018. The price achieved of GBP 608,750.00 (€ 678,201.49) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500,000.00 – 800,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Stubbs achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gimcrack on Newmarket Heath, with a trainer, a jockey and a stable lad in July 2011 with an auction result of GBP 22,441,250.00 (€ 25,754,691.64).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A bay hunter with two playful spaniels von George Stubbs kam im Dezember 2018 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 608.750,00 (€ 678.201,49) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500.000,00 – 800.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Stubbs erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Gimcrack on Newmarket Heath, with a trainer, a jockey and a stable lad im Juli 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 22.441.250,00 (€ 25.754.691,64).
