Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by John Le Capelain could be acquired at Christies in London in March 2011 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Christie's Interiors Including Paintings, Drawings & Watercolours From The Collection of The Late John Appleby auction, the work The old fish woman changed hands for GBP 125.00 (€ 141.44) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 200.00 – 300.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Le Capelain achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Shipping at dusk in November 2010 with an auction result of GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,286.25).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Le Capelain konnte im März 2011 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors Including Paintings, Drawings & Watercolours From The Collection of The Late John Appleby wechselte die Arbeit The old fish woman für GBP 125,00 (€ 141,44) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 200,00 – 300,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Le Capelain erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Shipping at dusk im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.286,25).
