Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work German Szene Aus Dem Italienischen Feldzuge (Austrian Soldiers Resting During The Italian Campaign) by Wilhelm Richter was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 14,900.00 (€ 18,953.45). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wilhelm Richter - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of Countess Julia Samoilova (1803-1875) With Austrian Hussars, which sold at auction in November 2015 for GBP 37,500.00 (€ 53,413.18).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit German Szene Aus Dem Italienischen Feldzuge (Austrian Soldiers Resting During The Italian Campaign) von Wilhelm Richter im Mai 2008 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 14.900,00 (€ 18.953,45) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Wilhelm Richter mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Of Countess Julia Samoilova (1803-1875) With Austrian Hussars beobachtet, die im November 2015 für GBP 37.500,00 (€ 53.413,18) versteigert wurde.
