Auction result well in line with expectations
In August this year Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts held the auction August Americana | Bonhams Skinner, which included the work Sketch of a Continental Officer Sight by John Trumbull. The price achieved of USD 10,880.00 (€ 10,037.83) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 8,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Trumbull achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work George Washington in May last year with an auction result of USD 1,620,000.00 (€ 1,509,644.95).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im August diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts die Auktion August Americana | Bonhams Skinner durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sketch of a Continental Officer Sight von John Trumbull zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 10.880,00 (€ 10.037,83) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 8.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Trumbull erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit George Washington im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.620.000,00 (€ 1.509.644,95).
