Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2004 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Pictures, which included the work A paddle-steamer and other shipping on the River Avon at Pill, near Bristol by Joseph Walter. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,182.50 (€ 6,275.29) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Joseph Walter have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Harbour At Dusk in December 2008 with an auction result of GBP 31,250.00 (€ 32,821.59).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit A paddle-steamer and other shipping on the River Avon at Pill, near Bristol von Joseph Walter zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.182,50 (€ 6.275,29) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Joseph Walter auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A Harbour At Dusk im Dezember 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 31.250,00 (€ 32.821,59).
