Auction result well in line with expectations

In November 2006 Christies in London held the auction Sporting Art, Wildlife and Dogs, which included the work The Final Furlong by Thomas Sherwood La Fontaine. It changed hands for a price of GBP 2,100.00 (€ 3,118.57) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 1,800.00 – 2,200.00. Admittedly, works by Thomas Sherwood La Fontaine have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Polo Match in December 2005 with an auction result of USD 31,200.00 (€ 26,346.90).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im November 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion Sporting Art, Wildlife and Dogs durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Final Furlong von Thomas Sherwood La Fontaine zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 2.100,00 (€ 3.118,57) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.800,00 – 2.200,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Thomas Sherwood La Fontaine auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A Polo Match im Dezember 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 31.200,00 (€ 26.346,90).
