Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Peel Harbour, Isle of Man; and Douglas Harbour, Isle of Man (both illustrated) by William Edward Webb was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 8,750.00 (€ 12,252.26) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Edward Webb - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Quayside Fish Market At Douglas, Isle Of Man, which sold at auction in November 2004 for GBP 17,925.00 (€ 25,785.02).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Peel Harbour, Isle of Man; and Douglas Harbour, Isle of Man (both illustrated) von William Edward Webb kam im November 2007 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 8.750,00 (€ 12.252,26) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von William Edward Webb mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Quayside Fish Market At Douglas, Isle Of Man beobachtet, die im November 2004 für GBP 17.925,00 (€ 25.785,02) versteigert wurde.
