Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by William Delacour achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in October 2021. In the Old Master Paintings auction, the work Figures and a horse at a fountain in a woodland clearing sold for GBP 21,500.00 (€ 25,471.69) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Delacour - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An extensive landscape with elegant company by a fountain in a wooded glade, which sold at auction in April 2006 for GBP 40,800.00 (€ 58,885.93).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von William Delacour erzielte im Oktober 2021 bei Bonhams einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Paintings wurde die Arbeit Figures and a horse at a fountain in a woodland clearing für GBP 21.500,00 (€ 25.471,69) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 10.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von William Delacour mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit An extensive landscape with elegant company by a fountain in a wooded glade beobachtet, die im April 2006 für GBP 40.800,00 (€ 58.885,93) versteigert wurde.
