Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The charge of the 8th Kings Royal light Dragoons, Laswarree by Richard Simkin was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2001. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,057.50 (€ 1,772.92) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Richard Simkin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 10th Prince of Wales's Own Royal Hussars; and three others, which sold at auction in January 2001 for USD 5,287.50 (€ 5,680.60).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The charge of the 8th Kings Royal light Dragoons, Laswarree von Richard Simkin kam im Mai 2001 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.057,50 (€ 1.772,92) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Richard Simkin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 10th Prince of Wales's Own Royal Hussars; and three others beobachtet, die im Januar 2001 für USD 5.287,50 (€ 5.680,60) versteigert wurde.
