Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Near Longleat by William Bennett was sold in the BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS auction at Christies in London in May 2001. The price achieved of GBP 470.00 (€ 787.97) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Admittedly, works by William Bennett have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Near Longleat von William Bennett wurde im Mai 2001 in der Auktion BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 470,00 (€ 787,97) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Bennett auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
