Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2005 Christies in London held the auction WATERCOLOURS OF THE GRAND TOUR FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION, which included the work Spinnerin am Kreutzer, Vienna (illustrated); Kleinhausel near Plenine; Descent on the Plains of Vienna; and The entrance to the Grotto of Adelsburg on the Poick ? by Robert Henry Cheney. It changed hands for a price of GBP 456.00 (€ 672.46) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00. 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
Im Oktober 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion WATERCOLOURS OF THE GRAND TOUR FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION durch, in der auch die Arbeit Spinnerin am Kreutzer, Vienna (illustrated); Kleinhausel near Plenine; Descent on the Plains of Vienna; and The entrance to the Grotto of Adelsburg on the Poick ? von Robert Henry Cheney zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 456,00 (€ 672,46) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00. 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).
