Description
JOHN WILLIAM WATERHOUSE, R.A. (BRITISH, 1849-1917) A sketch of a bear signed and dated ‘J. W. Waterhouse/Aug 1913’ (lower right) pencil and watercolour on card 11 3 ⁄ 4 x 9 in. (29.7 x 23 cm.)
Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July last year Christies in London held the auction British and European Art, which included the work A sketch of a bear by John William Waterhouse. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 5,040.00 (€ 6,018.66). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John William Waterhouse achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work St Cecilia 'In a clear walled city on the sea, Near gilded organ pipes... ...slept St Cecily' in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 6,603,750.00 (€ 10,467,756.68).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juli letzten Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion British and European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A sketch of a bear von John William Waterhouse zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 5.040,00 (€ 6.018,66) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John William Waterhouse erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit St Cecilia 'In a clear walled city on the sea, Near gilded organ pipes... ...slept St Cecily' im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.603.750,00 (€ 10.467.756,68).
