Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2000 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Pictures, Watercolours and Drawings, which included the work Portrait Of An Officer, Full-Length, Standing In A Front Of A Column by W. Webb. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,057.50 (€ 1,807.57) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by W. Webb - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A three-master hove-to and waiting for the pilot, in the Channel, which sold at auction in May 2005 for GBP 2,640.00 (€ 3,897.47).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Pictures, Watercolours and Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of An Officer, Full-Length, Standing In A Front Of A Column von W. Webb zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.057,50 (€ 1.807,57) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von W. Webb mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A three-master hove-to and waiting for the pilot, in the Channel beobachtet, die im Mai 2005 für GBP 2.640,00 (€ 3.897,47) versteigert wurde.
