This artwork by Edwin Henry Landseer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in December 2017. In the Old Masters Evening Sale auction, the work Study Of Highland Blackface Sheep sold for GBP 93,750.00 (€ 105,501.89) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 50,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Edwin Henry Landseer erzielte im Dezember 2017 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale wurde die Arbeit Study Of Highland Blackface Sheep für GBP 93.750,00 (€ 105.501,89) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 50.000,00. 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).
