Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Hagar and Ishmael in the desert; and Still life of roses by Queen Victoria was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 9,375.00 (€ 11,713.61). Admittedly, works by Queen Victoria have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Stag Shot By John Brown in December 2017 with an auction result of GBP 45,000.00 (€ 50,640.91).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Hagar and Ishmael in the desert; and Still life of roses von Queen Victoria im Juni 2014 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 9.375,00 (€ 11.713,61) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Queen Victoria auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A Stag Shot By John Brown im Dezember 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 45.000,00 (€ 50.640,91).
