This artwork by Herbert James Draper achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in February 2007. In the Christopher Wood A Very Victorian Eye auction, the work Study for 'The Kelpie' sold for GBP 28,800.00 (€ 42,694.97) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Herbert James Draper achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Mountain Mists in October 2021 with an auction result of USD 2,010,000.00 (€ 1,739,958.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Herbert James Draper erzielte im Februar 2007 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Christopher Wood A Very Victorian Eye wurde die Arbeit Study for 'The Kelpie' für GBP 28.800,00 (€ 42.694,97) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Herbert James Draper erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Mountain Mists im Oktober 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.010.000,00 (€ 1.739.958,45).
