Thomas Scott, R.S.A.

A seated lady sketching the landscape

Found at Christies, London
BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS, Lot 178
3. May - 3. May 2001
Estimate: 500 - 700 GBP
Price realised: 2.585 GBP
Thomas Scott, R.S.A. (1854-1927)
A seated lady sketching the landscape
signed 'Tom Scott.1903.' (lower left)
watercolour heightened with white and gum arabic and with scratching out
9½ x 13¾in. (24 x 34.9cm.)

Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work A seated lady sketching the landscape by Thomas Scott was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2001, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 700.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,585.00 (€ 4,333.81). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Thomas Scott; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Ploughing at Newstead Bridge, near Melrose, Roxburghshire sold at auction in October 2008 with the realized price of GBP 4,500.00 (€ 5,735.89).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit A seated lady sketching the landscape von Thomas Scott im Mai 2001 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 700,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.585,00 (€ 4.333,81) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Thomas Scott; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Ploughing at Newstead Bridge, near Melrose, Roxburghshire im Oktober 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 4.500,00 (€ 5.735,89).
