Upper estimate price exceeded by 49 %.

The work A young Lady seated on a red chair, facing right wearing a pink dress and lace fichu and pink bow, brown hair, inscribed and dated to the reverse 1847, rectangular giltmetal frame by William Maw Egley was sold in the THE CARTER COLLECTION auction at Christies in Melbourne in March 2001. The »bidding war« ended at AUD 2,232.50 (€ 1,239.12), 49% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Maw Egley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Catherine of Aragon in June 2002 with an auction result of GBP 20,315.00 (€ 31,422.70).

Die Arbeit A young Lady seated on a red chair, facing right wearing a pink dress and lace fichu and pink bow, brown hair, inscribed and dated to the reverse 1847, rectangular giltmetal frame von William Maw Egley wurde im März 2001 in der Auktion THE CARTER COLLECTION bei Christies in Melbourne versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von AUD 2.232,50 (€ 1.239,12) und damit 49% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Maw Egley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Catherine of Aragon im Juni 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 20.315,00 (€ 31.422,70).
