Peter Fendi

Children paddling by the rocks

Found at Christies, London
19th Century European Art, Lot 24
1. Feb - 1. Feb 2012
Estimate: 1.000 - 1.500 GBP
Price realised: 6.875 GBP
Peter Fendi (Austrian, 1796-1842)
Children paddling by the rocks
signed and dated 'Fendi 836' (lower left)
pencil and watercolour on paper
7¾ x 6 5/8 in. (19.7 x 16.8 cm.)

Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

When the work Children paddling by the rocks by Peter Fendi was auctioned at Christies in London in February 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 6,875.00 (€ 8,208.93). Admittedly, works by Peter Fendi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Sneaking A Peek in March 2005 with an auction result of GBP 43,360.00 (€ 63,149.33).

Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Children paddling by the rocks von Peter Fendi im Februar 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 6.875,00 (€ 8.208,93) mehr als viermal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Peter Fendi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Sneaking A Peek im März 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 43.360,00 (€ 63.149,33).
