Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Spirit of the Fountain by Herbert James Draper was sold in the Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in December 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 150,000.00 – 250,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 173,000.00 (€ 202,265.07) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Herbert James Draper have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Mountain Mists in October 2021 with an auction result of USD 2,010,000.00 (€ 1,739,958.45).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Spirit of the Fountain von Herbert James Draper wurde im Dezember 2016 in der Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 150.000,00 – 250.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 173.000,00 (€ 202.265,07) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Herbert James Draper auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Mountain Mists im Oktober 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.010.000,00 (€ 1.739.958,45).
