Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2006 Christies in London held the auction Victorian & Traditionalist Pictures, which included the work Portrait of Constance Smedley, Three-Quarter Length, With A Violin by Maxwell Ashby Armfield. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 5,400.00 (€ 8,019.17) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Maxwell Ashby Armfield achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Madison Square Park, New York in June 2007 with an auction result of GBP 102,000.00 (€ 151,362.87).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian & Traditionalist Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Constance Smedley, Three-Quarter Length, With A Violin von Maxwell Ashby Armfield zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 5.400,00 (€ 8.019,17) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Maxwell Ashby Armfield erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Madison Square Park, New York im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 102.000,00 (€ 151.362,87).
