Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Vernon de Beauvoir Ward could be acquired at Christies in London in April 2011 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Swans and a figure in a punt, before Windsor Castle changed hands for GBP 437.50 (€ 492.70) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00. Admittedly, works by Vernon de Beauvoir Ward have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Swans, Ducks And Moorhens in November 2005 with an auction result of GBP 2,400.00 (€ 3,525.90).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Vernon de Beauvoir Ward konnte im April 2011 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wechselte die Arbeit Swans and a figure in a punt, before Windsor Castle für GBP 437,50 (€ 492,70) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 500,00 – 700,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Vernon de Beauvoir Ward auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Swans, Ducks And Moorhens im November 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.400,00 (€ 3.525,90).
