Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Thomas Shotter Boys could be acquired at Christies in London in July last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master and British Works on Paper: Drawings, Watercolours and Prints 1500-1900 auction, the work Figures on a bridge over a canal, Braunschweig, Germany changed hands for GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,791.27) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Shotter Boys achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le Pavillon de Flore, Tuileries, Paris in December 2010 with an auction result of GBP 43,250.00 (€ 50,169.87).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Thomas Shotter Boys konnte im Juli letzten Jahres bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master and British Works on Paper: Drawings, Watercolours and Prints 1500-1900 wechselte die Arbeit Figures on a bridge over a canal, Braunschweig, Germany für GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.791,27) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Shotter Boys erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Le Pavillon de Flore, Tuileries, Paris im Dezember 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 43.250,00 (€ 50.169,87).
