A top price for William Allan - as previously expected
The work Dick Whittington And His Cat by William Allan was sold in the Victorian & Traditionalist Pictures auction at Christies in London in June 2007. The price achieved of GBP 36,000.00 (€ 53,422.19) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Dick Whittington And His Cat is the most expensive artwork by William Allan that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Dick Whittington And His Cat von William Allan wurde im Juni 2007 in der Auktion Victorian & Traditionalist Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 36.000,00 (€ 53.422,19) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Dick Whittington And His Cat das teuerste Kunstwerk von William Allan, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
