The work Studies of a huntsman with his hounds scenting; A gentleman jumping a stile, followed by a hound; A lady jumping sidesaddle; and A small folio of fourteen pencil sketches of figures, horses and other animals, four with subsidiary sketches ( verso ), by Henry Alken was sold in the Old Master Drawings and British Drawings and Watercolours auction at Christies in London in December 2016. It achieved a price of GBP 2,375.00 (€ 2,776.76), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 32%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Alken achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work British Start For The Derby, 1847; And Cossack Winning The Derby, 1847 (Two Works) in December 2008 with an auction result of USD 80,500.00 (€ 57,834.61).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 32 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Studies of a huntsman with his hounds scenting; A gentleman jumping a stile, followed by a hound; A lady jumping sidesaddle; and A small folio of fourteen pencil sketches of figures, horses and other animals, four with subsidiary sketches ( verso ), von Henry Alken wurde im Dezember 2016 in der Auktion Old Master Drawings and British Drawings and Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 2.375,00 (€ 2.776,76) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 32%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Alken erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit British Start For The Derby, 1847; And Cossack Winning The Derby, 1847 (Two Works) im Dezember 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 80.500,00 (€ 57.834,61).
