Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A tranquil stretch of the river by John Gilbert was sold in the British and Victorian Paintings auction at Christies in London in May 2005. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,680.00 (€ 2,480.21) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Gilbert - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The marriage of Katherine and Petruchio: The Taming of the Shrew, which sold at auction in November 2012 for GBP 5,000.00 (€ 6,159.49).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
