Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2010 a collector was able to acquire the work Saul "hiding among the stuff" by James Smetham for GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,493.75). This price was achieved in the auction Victorian and British Impressionist Pictures at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Smetham achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Mandolin in December 2017 with an auction result of GBP 476,750.00 (€ 536,512.29).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2010 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Saul "hiding among the stuff" von James Smetham für GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.493,75) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Victorian and British Impressionist Pictures bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Smetham erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Mandolin im Dezember 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 476.750,00 (€ 536.512,29).
