A top price for James Stephenson Craig - as previously expected
The work The blacksmith's cottage by James Stephenson Craig was sold in the British and Victorian Pictures auction at Christies in London in September 2002. The price achieved of GBP 4,465.00 (€ 7,095.91) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The blacksmith's cottage is the most expensive artwork by James Stephenson Craig that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit The blacksmith's cottage von James Stephenson Craig wurde im September 2002 in der Auktion British and Victorian Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.465,00 (€ 7.095,91) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The blacksmith's cottage das teuerste Kunstwerk von James Stephenson Craig, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
