Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Female head study for a nymph in Hylas and the Nymphs 38.8 x 21.6cm (15 1/4 x 8 1/2in)(sheet) by John William Waterhouse was auctioned at Bonhams in London in October 2020. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 21,312.50 (€ 23,665.71). 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
Die Arbeit Female head study for a nymph in Hylas and the Nymphs 38.8 x 21.6cm (15 1/4 x 8 1/2in)(sheet) von John William Waterhouse kam im Oktober 2020 bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 20.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 21.312,50 (€ 23.665,71) 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).
