Auction result misses estimated price range

In October 2002 a collector was able to acquire the work St. Giorgio Maggiore from the lagoon by John Wharlton Bunney for GBP 352.50 (€ 557.59). This price was achieved in the auction British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by John Wharlton Bunney have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Florence, From The South-East in September 2021 with an auction result of GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,090.37).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Oktober 2002 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit St. Giorgio Maggiore from the lagoon von John Wharlton Bunney für GBP 352,50 (€ 557,59) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Wharlton Bunney auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Florence, From The South-East im September 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.375,00 (€ 5.090,37).
