Auction result misses estimated price range
In May 2012 a collector was able to acquire the work British the God Thor Drives The Dwarfs Out Of Scandinavia By Throwing His Hammer At Them by Richard Doyle for USD 18,750.00 (€ 15,165.00). This price was achieved in the auction 19th Century European Art at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Richard Doyle - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Elves in a Rabbit Warren, which sold at auction in June 2010 for GBP 25,000.00 (€ 30,402.33).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai 2012 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit British the God Thor Drives The Dwarfs Out Of Scandinavia By Throwing His Hammer At Them von Richard Doyle für USD 18.750,00 (€ 15.165,00) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion 19th Century European Art bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Richard Doyle mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Elves in a Rabbit Warren beobachtet, die im Juni 2010 für GBP 25.000,00 (€ 30.402,33) versteigert wurde.
