Auction result well in line with expectations
In November this year Bonhams in London held the auction British and European Art, which included the work Morning prayer by Thomas Brooks. The price achieved of GBP 5,120.00 (€ 5,932.97) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Admittedly, works by Thomas Brooks have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Relenting 'The Silence of Pure Innocence Persuades, Where Speaking Fails' (William Shakespeare, The Winter'S Tale) in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 79,000.00 (€ 50,745.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion British and European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Morning prayer von Thomas Brooks zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 5.120,00 (€ 5.932,97) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Thomas Brooks auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Relenting 'The Silence of Pure Innocence Persuades, Where Speaking Fails' (William Shakespeare, The Winter'S Tale) im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 79.000,00 (€ 50.745,12).
