Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by James Thornhill could be acquired at Christies in London in June 2001 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British Pictures 1500-1850 auction, the work Phaeton Petitioning Apollo, Allegorical Figures Representing The Signs Of The Zodiac Beneath changed hands for GBP 9,400.00 (€ 15,615.27) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Admittedly, works by James Thornhill have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Proposed Design For The Saloon Ceiling At Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire: The Apotheosis of Hercules in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 45,600.00 (€ 67,582.08).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von James Thornhill konnte im Juni 2001 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British Pictures 1500-1850 wechselte die Arbeit Phaeton Petitioning Apollo, Allegorical Figures Representing The Signs Of The Zodiac Beneath für GBP 9.400,00 (€ 15.615,27) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von James Thornhill auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Proposed Design For The Saloon Ceiling At Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire: The Apotheosis of Hercules im Juni 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 45.600,00 (€ 67.582,08).
