Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2013 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings including French Masterworks from the Dormeuil Collection, which included the work Portrait Of A Falcon Gentle; Together With A Portrait Of A Hen Harrier by Christopher Atkinson. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,250.00 (€ 4,856.37) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Christopher Atkinson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Three Portraits Of Owls, which sold at auction in July 2013 for GBP 11,250.00 (€ 12,855.09).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2013 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Drawings including French Masterworks from the Dormeuil Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of A Falcon Gentle; Together With A Portrait Of A Hen Harrier von Christopher Atkinson zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.250,00 (€ 4.856,37) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Christopher Atkinson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Three Portraits Of Owls beobachtet, die im Juli 2013 für GBP 11.250,00 (€ 12.855,09) versteigert wurde.
