Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Villa Of Maecenas And The Villa D’Este, Tivoli by Thomas Jones was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings auction at Sothebys in London in July 2014. The price achieved of GBP 23,750.00 (€ 29,956.22) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Jones achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work View of The Campi Flegrei From The Camadolise Convent Near Naples in November 2005 with an auction result of GBP 237,600.00 (€ 349,064.43).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Villa Of Maecenas And The Villa D’Este, Tivoli von Thomas Jones wurde im Juli 2014 in der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 23.750,00 (€ 29.956,22) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Jones erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit View of The Campi Flegrei From The Camadolise Convent Near Naples im November 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 237.600,00 (€ 349.064,43).
