Auction result well in line with expectations

In May this year Bonhams held the auction Scottish Art, which included the work A view across the Basin of St Marks towards the Doge's Palace, Venice by James McBey. The price achieved of GBP 7,012.50 (€ 8,159.09) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James McBey - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Dacie, which sold at auction in September 2020 for GBP 25,000.00 (€ 27,566.56).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Scottish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A view across the Basin of St Marks towards the Doge's Palace, Venice von James McBey zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 7.012,50 (€ 8.159,09) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von James McBey mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Dacie beobachtet, die im September 2020 für GBP 25.000,00 (€ 27.566,56) versteigert wurde.
