A top price for Henry William Pickersgill - as previously expected
The work L'improvisatrice by Henry William Pickersgill was auctioned at Bonhams in London in July this year. The price achieved of GBP 10,240.00 (€ 11,946.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, L'improvisatrice is the most expensive artwork by Henry William Pickersgill that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit L'improvisatrice von Henry William Pickersgill kam im Juli diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.240,00 (€ 11.946,98) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist L'improvisatrice das teuerste Kunstwerk von Henry William Pickersgill, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
