Auction result well in line with expectations
In August 2005 Christies in Melbourne held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Lake Petrarch, Mount Byron Vale of Cuvier, Tasmania by William Charles Piguenit. The price achieved of AUD 5,975.00 (€ 3,641.21) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Admittedly, works by William Charles Piguenit have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work On the 'Break-O'-Day' Plains, Tasmania (Sunset after a storm), 1895 in April 2003 with an auction result of AUD 70,500.00 (€ 35,950.41).

Im August 2005 führte Christies in Melbourne die Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Lake Petrarch, Mount Byron Vale of Cuvier, Tasmania von William Charles Piguenit zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 5.975,00 (€ 3.641,21) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Charles Piguenit auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit On the 'Break-O'-Day' Plains, Tasmania (Sunset after a storm), 1895 im April 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 70.500,00 (€ 35.950,41).
