Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Figures on a riverbank checking eel traps by Samuel Austin was sold in the Old Master Drawings and British Drawings and Watercolours auction at Christies in London in December 2016. The result of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,753.74) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Samuel Austin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work St John's Market, Liverpool in November 2001 with an auction result of GBP 15,275.00 (€ 24,307.34).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Figures on a riverbank checking eel traps von Samuel Austin wurde im Dezember 2016 in der Auktion Old Master Drawings and British Drawings and Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.753,74) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Samuel Austin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit St John's Market, Liverpool im November 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 15.275,00 (€ 24.307,34).
