Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Dream Of Dawn by John Everett Millais was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2018. The price achieved of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 70,076.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Everett Millais achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sisters in July 2013 with an auction result of GBP 2,301,875.00 (€ 2,630,293.40).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Dream Of Dawn von John Everett Millais kam im Juli 2018 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 62.500,00 (€ 70.076,24) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Everett Millais erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sisters im Juli 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.301.875,00 (€ 2.630.293,40).
