Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The expulsion of Adam and Eve; and The famine in Jerusalem by Thomas Stothard was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2001, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 470.00 (€ 758.85). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Stothard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sylvia and the Outlaws: a Scene from Shakespeare's 'Two Gentlemen of Verona' in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 10,755.00 (€ 15,701.96).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The expulsion of Adam and Eve; and The famine in Jerusalem von Thomas Stothard im September 2001 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 470,00 (€ 758,85) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Stothard erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sylvia and the Outlaws: a Scene from Shakespeare's 'Two Gentlemen of Verona' im Februar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 10.755,00 (€ 15.701,96).
