Auction result well in line with expectations

The work In the Roman Campagna by Robert Henry Cheney was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2005. 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 1,080.00 (€ 1,592.67) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Robert Henry Cheney have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A panoramic view of the Farnesina and the city of Rome in June 2002 with an auction result of GBP 4,182.50 (€ 6,469.38).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit In the Roman Campagna von Robert Henry Cheney kam im Oktober 2005 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 1.080,00 (€ 1.592,67) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Robert Henry Cheney auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A panoramic view of the Farnesina and the city of Rome im Juni 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.182,50 (€ 6.469,38).
