Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A forest floor still life with a snake, butterflies, snails and a grasshopper; and A forest floor still life with a lizard, butterflies and snails by Carl Wilhelm de Hamilton was sold in the Old Master Pictures auction at Christies in London in July 2003. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 33,460.00 (€ 43,734.48) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Carl Wilhelm de Hamilton have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Forest floor still lifes with lizards, snakes, Painted Lady butterflies, a Red Tiger moth, snails, thistle and convolvulus in April 2002 with an auction result of GBP 146,750.00 (€ 237,437.65).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A forest floor still life with a snake, butterflies, snails and a grasshopper; and A forest floor still life with a lizard, butterflies and snails von Carl Wilhelm de Hamilton wurde im Juli 2003 in der Auktion Old Master Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 33.460,00 (€ 43.734,48) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Carl Wilhelm de Hamilton auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Forest floor still lifes with lizards, snakes, Painted Lady butterflies, a Red Tiger moth, snails, thistle and convolvulus im April 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 146.750,00 (€ 237.437,65).
