A top price for William Delacour
When the work An extensive landscape with elegant company by a fountain in a wooded glade by William Delacour was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 40,800.00 (€ 58,885.93). This high result makes An extensive landscape with elegant company by a fountain in a wooded glade the most expensive artwork by William Delacour that we have observed at auctions so far.

Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht An extensive landscape with elegant company by a fountain in a wooded glade zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von William Delacour, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
