Auction result misses estimated price range
In June 2001 a collector was able to acquire the work A Study Of A Draped Figure Thought To Be A Study For Poena Or Isabella by John Melhuish Strudwick for GBP 352.50 (€ 585.57). This price was achieved in the auction BRITISH & CONTINENTAL WATERCOLOURS,DRAWINGS & ILLUSTRATIONS at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Melhuish Strudwick achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Thy Music, faintly falling, dies away, Thy dear eyes dream that Love will live for aye' G.F. Bodley in November 2003 with an auction result of GBP 509,250.00 (€ 731,035.91).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juni 2001 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit A Study Of A Draped Figure Thought To Be A Study For Poena Or Isabella von John Melhuish Strudwick für GBP 352,50 (€ 585,57) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion BRITISH & CONTINENTAL WATERCOLOURS,DRAWINGS & ILLUSTRATIONS bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Melhuish Strudwick erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Thy Music, faintly falling, dies away, Thy dear eyes dream that Love will live for aye' G.F. Bodley im November 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 509.250,00 (€ 731.035,91).
