Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work View of Edinburgh looking south from the Firth of Forth, with shipping in the foreground by William Frederick Settle was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 3,600.00 (€ 5,378.72). Other works by William Frederick Settle have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in May 2005 by the work Warships and other vessels in a calm at GBP 6,000.00 (€ 8,857.88).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit View of Edinburgh looking south from the Firth of Forth, with shipping in the foreground von William Frederick Settle im Oktober 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 3.600,00 (€ 5.378,72) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von William Frederick Settle wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Mai 2005 die Arbeit Warships and other vessels in a calm mit GBP 6.000,00 (€ 8.857,88).
