Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2004 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours including Original, which included the work Temple ruins at dusk; and Arabs spinning before a mosque by Spyridon Scarvelli. 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 2,151.00 (€ 3,250.63) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Spyridon Scarvelli have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Piraeus in May 2007 with an auction result of GBP 18,000.00 (€ 26,488.22).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours including Original durch, in der auch die Arbeit Temple ruins at dusk; and Arabs spinning before a mosque von Spyridon Scarvelli zur Versteigerung kam. 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 2.151,00 (€ 3.250,63) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Spyridon Scarvelli auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Piraeus im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 18.000,00 (€ 26.488,22).
