Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Voltaire by William Quiller Orchardson was sold in the British and Victorian Pictures auction at Christies in London in March 2005. The price achieved of GBP 960.00 (€ 1,398.14) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Quiller Orchardson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'The Queen of the Swords' A dozen cutlasses, selected hastily from an old arm-chest, and whose rusted hue bespoke how seldom they left the sheath, armed the same number of young Zetlanders, with whom mingled six maidens, led by Minna Troil; and the in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 83,650.00
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Voltaire von William Quiller Orchardson wurde im März 2005 in der Auktion British and Victorian Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 960,00 (€ 1.398,14) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Quiller Orchardson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'The Queen of the Swords' A dozen cutlasses, selected hastily from an old arm-chest, and whose rusted hue bespoke how seldom they left the sheath, armed the same number of young Zetlanders, with whom mingled six maidens, led by Minna Troil; and the im Februar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 83.650,00 (€ 122.126,36).
