Upper estimate price exceeded by 29 %.

In May 2001 Christies in London held the auction BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS, which included the work Highland figures on a track in a mountainous landscape by Thomas Charles Leeson Rowbotham. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 646.25 (€ 1,083.45), 29% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Charles Leeson Rowbotham achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Veduta di Benares, 1872 in November 2002 with an auction result of EUR 17,360.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um 29 % übertroffen

Im Mai 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Highland figures on a track in a mountainous landscape von Thomas Charles Leeson Rowbotham zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 646,25 (€ 1.083,45) und damit 29% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Charles Leeson Rowbotham erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Veduta di Benares, 1872 im November 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 17.360,00.
