Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The cobblers: Portrait of a man, small full-length, reclining reading a newspaper by a cobblers by William Allan was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,160.00 (€ 3,178.59) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Allan achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Dick Whittington And His Cat in June 2007 with an auction result of GBP 36,000.00 (€ 53,422.19).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The cobblers: Portrait of a man, small full-length, reclining reading a newspaper by a cobblers von William Allan kam im Mai 2007 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.160,00 (€ 3.178,59) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Allan erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Dick Whittington And His Cat im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 36.000,00 (€ 53.422,19).
