Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2002 Christies in London held the auction IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU, which included the work A young gentleman, seated in a green upholstered chair with his left hand on his left knee, facing right in brown coat and grey trousers, blue waistcoat, white shirt and spotted blue bowtie, light brown hair and beard by William Charles Ross. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,673.00 (€ 2,619.94) 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; Land
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU durch, in der auch die Arbeit A young gentleman, seated in a green upholstered chair with his left hand on his left knee, facing right in brown coat and grey trousers, blue waistcoat, white shirt and spotted blue bowtie, light brown hair and beard von William Charles Ross zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.673,00 (€ 2.619,94) 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 S
