Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2013 Christies in London held the auction A Life's Devotion: The Collection of the Late Mrs T.S. Eliot, which included the work A Young Gentleman Called John Keats (1795-1821), In Fur-Trimmed Green Cloak, Blue Jacket, White Shirt And Black Neck Tie by William Charles Ross. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,910.94) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by William Charles Ross have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Victoria, Princess Royal (1840-1901) As A Child, Holding The Long Blue Silk Ribbons Of Her Hat, In White Dress, Black Coat, Wearing A Blue-Lined Straw Hat Adorned With Black And Blue Ribbons On Her Curly Fair Hair; Landscape Background in November 2013 with an auction result of GBP 18,750.00 (€ 22
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2013 führte Christies in London die Auktion A Life's Devotion: The Collection of the Late Mrs T.S. Eliot durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Young Gentleman Called John Keats (1795-1821), In Fur-Trimmed Green Cloak, Blue Jacket, White Shirt And Black Neck Tie von William Charles Ross zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.250,00 (€ 3.910,94) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Charles Ross auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit [Victoria, Princess Royal (1840-1901) As A Child, Holding The Long Blue Silk Ribbons Of Her Hat, In White Dress, Black Coat, Wearing A Blue-Lined Straw Hat Adorned With Black And Blue Ribbons On Her Curly Fair Hair; Landscape Background|AI
