Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire by Hugh William Williams was worth GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,688.80) to a buyer in December 2011. This price was achieved in the auction Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hugh William Williams achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An extensive view of the Acropolis and Athens, Greece, with the Herodeion Atticon below in July 2011 with an auction result of GBP 157,250.00 (€ 180,467.90).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire von Hugh William Williams war einem Käufer im Dezember 2011 GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.688,80) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours bei Christies in London erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hugh William Williams erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An extensive view of the Acropolis and Athens, Greece, with the Herodeion Atticon below im Juli 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 157.250,00 (€ 180.467,90).
