Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2001 Christies in London held the auction British And Continental Watercolours And Drawings, which included the work Still life with hawthorne and birds nest by William Cruickshank. It changed hands for a price of GBP 587.50 (€ 949.49) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Cruickshank - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A cat and mouse with a pheasant and a rabbit in a larder; and Pheasant and a hare in a larder, which sold at auction in June 2000 for GBP 1,527.50 (€ 2,421.28).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion British And Continental Watercolours And Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Still life with hawthorne and birds nest von William Cruickshank zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 587,50 (€ 949,49) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00. Für andere Arbeiten von William Cruickshank mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A cat and mouse with a pheasant and a rabbit in a larder; and Pheasant and a hare in a larder beobachtet, die im Juni 2000 für GBP 1.527,50 (€ 2.421,28) versteigert wurde.
