Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2016 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings, which included the work Tattershall Castle, Lincolnshire by Thomas Girtin. The price achieved of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 74,263.52) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Admittedly, works by Thomas Girtin have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Durham Cathedral And Castle in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 265,250.00 (€ 318,933.24).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 62.500,00 (€ 74.263,52) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Thomas Girtin auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Durham Cathedral And Castle im Juli 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 265.250,00 (€ 318.933,24).
