Sold at the lower estimate price
The work The daughter of Admiral Walker, Emily Wake Walker by David Wilkie was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours auction at Christies in London in July 2017. The result of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 16,737.70) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by David Wilkie achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Spanish Girl in November 2003 with an auction result of GBP 363,650.00 (€ 522,024.96).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit The daughter of Admiral Walker, Emily Wake Walker von David Wilkie wurde im Juli 2017 in der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 15.000,00 (€ 16.737,70) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von David Wilkie erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Spanish Girl im November 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 363.650,00 (€ 522.024,96).
