This artwork by William Bennett achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2010. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work The trout stream sold for GBP 875.00 (€ 1,052.09) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 500.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Bennett erzielte im Juli 2010 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wurde die Arbeit The trout stream für GBP 875,00 (€ 1.052,09) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 500,00. 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).
