Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work An Illustration For William Evelyn'S 'Walter'S Tale of War And The Crusades' by Leon Victor Solon was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300.00 – 400.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 240.00 (€ 351.33). Admittedly, works by Leon Victor Solon 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 group of ten classical studies including: A love scene; A frieze; An archer; A pair of lovers; An angel with a rock; A nymph on a classical terrace; Three studies of women; and The lady missionary; (three illustrated); one inscribed 'Clear Types./O in July 2007 with an auction result of GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,316.96
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit An Illustration For William Evelyn'S 'Walter'S Tale of War And The Crusades' von Leon Victor Solon im Juli 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 400,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 240,00 (€ 351,33) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Leon Victor Solon auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A group of ten classical studies including: A love scene; A frieze; An archer; A pair of lovers; An angel with a rock; A nymph on a classical terrace; Three studies of women; and The lady missionary; (three illustrated); one inscribed 'Clear Types./O im Juli 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.316,96).
