Sold at the lower estimate price
In July 2020 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours, which included the work Study for 'Alpine mastiffs reanimating a distressed traveller' by Edwin Henry Landseer. The result of GBP 4,000.00 (€ 4,461.70) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edwin Henry Landseer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Scene in Chillingham Park: Portrait of Lord Ossulston', or 'Death of the Wild Bull' in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 1,271,650.00 (€ 1,856,568.89).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Juli 2020 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study for 'Alpine mastiffs reanimating a distressed traveller' von Edwin Henry Landseer zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 4.000,00 (€ 4.461,70) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edwin Henry Landseer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Scene in Chillingham Park: Portrait of Lord Ossulston', or 'Death of the Wild Bull' im Februar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.271.650,00 (€ 1.856.568,89).
