Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Study For Tiny Tim And Bob Cratchit On Christmas Day by Jessie Willcox Smith was sold in the American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 55,000.00 (€ 35,347.04) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Jessie Willcox Smith have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work How Doth the Little Busy Bee in April 2011 with an auction result of USD 386,500.00 (€ 260,778.62).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Study For Tiny Tim And Bob Cratchit On Christmas Day von Jessie Willcox Smith wurde im Mai 2008 in der Auktion American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 55.000,00 (€ 35.347,04) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jessie Willcox Smith auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit How Doth the Little Busy Bee im April 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 386.500,00 (€ 260.778,62).
