Sold at the upper estimate price
In July 2012 Christies in London held the auction Victorian & British Impressionist Art, which included the work The lute player by John Dawson Watson. The auction ended at the price of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,910.60), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Dawson Watson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fireside Thoughts, which sold at auction in March 2008 for GBP 5,625.00 (€ 7,066.40).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Im Juli 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian & British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The lute player von John Dawson Watson zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.910,60) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von John Dawson Watson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Fireside Thoughts beobachtet, die im März 2008 für GBP 5.625,00 (€ 7.066,40) versteigert wurde.
