Despite a disappointment, a good price for Thomas Seddon
In February 2003 a collector was able to acquire the work Arabs at Prayer in the Desert by Thomas Seddon for GBP 65,725.00 (€ 95,956.43). This price was achieved in the auction THE FORBES COLLECTION OF VICTORIAN PICTURES AND WORKS OF ART at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00 set by the auction house. Despite this disappointing result, Arabs at Prayer in the Desert is the most expensive artwork by Thomas Seddon that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Thomas Seddon
Im Februar 2003 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Arabs at Prayer in the Desert von Thomas Seddon für GBP 65.725,00 (€ 95.956,43) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion THE FORBES COLLECTION OF VICTORIAN PICTURES AND WORKS OF ART bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 80.000,00 – 120.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Arabs at Prayer in the Desert das teuerste Kunstwerk von Thomas Seddon, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
