A cavalry skirmish
signed 'P. Tillemans.f.' (lower right)

25 x 30 in. (63.5 x 76.2 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 35 %.

The work A Cavalry Skirmish by Peter Tillemans was sold in the British Pictures 1500-1850 auction at Christies in London in June 2005. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 10,800.00 (€ 16,006.28), 35% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter Tillemans achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A panoramic view of Chatsworth House and Park, with mares and foals in the foreground in July 2012 with an auction result of GBP 265,250.00 (€ 337,857.21).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit A Cavalry Skirmish von Peter Tillemans wurde im Juni 2005 in der Auktion British Pictures 1500-1850 bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 10.800,00 (€ 16.006,28) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis.
