Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2003 Christies in London held the auction Victorian Pictures, which included the work 'The Two Extremes - the Pre-Raphaelite' by Henry Nelson O'Neil. The price achieved of GBP 10,157.50 (€ 14,581.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Nelson O'Neil achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Home Again, 1858 in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 553,750.00 (€ 877,761.92).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'The Two Extremes - the Pre-Raphaelite' von Henry Nelson O'Neil zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.157,50 (€ 14.581,24) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Nelson O'Neil erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Home Again, 1858 im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 553.750,00 (€ 877.761,92).
