Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Thomas Willis could be acquired at Christies in New York in February 2004 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Maritime auction, the work The Naiad in calm waters changed hands for USD 2,629.00 (€ 2,113.17) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Admittedly, works by Thomas Willis have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The bark Pilgrim in December 2000 with an auction result of USD 17,625.00 (€ 18,773.97).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Thomas Willis konnte im Februar 2004 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Maritime wechselte die Arbeit The Naiad in calm waters für USD 2.629,00 (€ 2.113,17) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Thomas Willis auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The bark Pilgrim im Dezember 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 17.625,00 (€ 18.773,97).
