Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Study of a tree by John Sell Cotman was sold in the Old Master and British Works on Paper: Drawings, Watercolours and Prints 1500-1900 auction at Christies in London in July last year. The price achieved of GBP 5,040.00 (€ 6,018.66) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Sell Cotman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work In the Grampians, a drover with his dog and cattle beyond in July 2017 with an auction result of GBP 118,750.00 (€ 132,506.76).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Study of a tree von John Sell Cotman wurde im Juli letzten Jahres in der Auktion Old Master and British Works on Paper: Drawings, Watercolours and Prints 1500-1900 bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 5.040,00 (€ 6.018,66) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Sell Cotman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit In the Grampians, a drover with his dog and cattle beyond im Juli 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 118.750,00 (€ 132.506,76).
