Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work An Angler On A Riverbank Before A Waterfall by William Bennett was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 187.50 (€ 254.78). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Bennett achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Robert Bullough, bust-length, wearing a red velvet jacket and white cravat; and Portrait of his wife, Sarah, bust-length, wearing a blue dress with lace borders and two brooches, in a feigned oval in May 2004 with an auction result of GBP 2,987.50 (€ 4,482.35).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit An Angler On A Riverbank Before A Waterfall von William Bennett im Dezember 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 187,50 (€ 254,78) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Bennett erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Robert Bullough, bust-length, wearing a red velvet jacket and white cravat; and Portrait of his wife, Sarah, bust-length, wearing a blue dress with lace borders and two brooches, in a feigned oval im Mai 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.987,50 (€ 4.482,35).
