Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2002 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian Pictures, which included the work Portrait of Marie Louise McMullin, neé Lenferna de Laresta, seated three-quarter-length, in a black dress and red shawl by John Wood. The price achieved of GBP 998.75 (€ 1,587.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Admittedly, works by John Wood have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Comus And The Lady Benighted in June 2001 with an auction result of GBP 9,400.00 (€ 15,615.27).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Marie Louise McMullin, neé Lenferna de Laresta, seated three-quarter-length, in a black dress and red shawl von John Wood zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 998,75 (€ 1.587,24) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Wood auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Comus And The Lady Benighted im Juni 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 9.400,00 (€ 15.615,27).
