12 x 9¼in. (30.5 x 23.4cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work An African Korah chieftain's daughter, wearing an animal skin, crouching by a river by Samuel Daniell was sold in the Exploration and Travel auction at Christies in London in September 2003. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,346.00 (€ 3,370.33) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Samuel Daniell have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work African Scenery And Animals (Abbey Travel 321, Nos. 1-18, 20-32) in April 2013 with an auction result of GBP 16,250.00 (€ 19,175.94).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit An African Korah chieftain's daughter, wearing an animal skin, crouching by a river von Samuel Daniell wurde im September 2003 in der Auktion Exploration and Travel bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.346,00 (€ 3.370,33) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Samuel Daniell auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit African Scenery And Animals (Abbey Travel 321, Nos. 1-18, 20-32) im April 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 16.250,00 (€ 19.175,94).
