Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2001 Christies in London held the auction BRITISH AND VICTORIAN PAINTINGS, INCLUDING SCOTTISH PICTURES, which included the work Portrait of a Scottish fisher boy by James Drummond. The price achieved of GBP 587.50 (€ 947.99) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Drummond achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work British the Return Of Mary Queen Of Scots To Edinburgh in January 2018 with an auction result of USD 275,000.00 (€ 221,274.54).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion BRITISH AND VICTORIAN PAINTINGS, INCLUDING SCOTTISH PICTURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of a Scottish fisher boy von James Drummond zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 587,50 (€ 947,99) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500,00 – 800,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Drummond erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit British the Return Of Mary Queen Of Scots To Edinburgh im Januar 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 275.000,00 (€ 221.274,54).
