6 x 8 in. (15.8 x 20.3 cm.)

Despite a disappointment, a good price for William H. Ward

This work of art by William H. Ward could be acquired at Christies in London in November 2000 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British and Victorian Pictures auction, the work Geraniums, plums, and a bird's nest with eggs, on a mossy bank changed hands for GBP 3,525.00 (€ 5,761.47) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Geraniums, plums, and a bird's nest with eggs, on a mossy bank is the most expensive artwork by William H. Ward that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für William H. Ward

Dieses Kunstwerk von William H. Ward konnte im November 2000 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British and Victorian Pictures wechselte die Arbeit Geraniums, plums, and a bird's nest with eggs, on a mossy bank für GBP 3.525,00 (€ 5.761,47) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Geraniums, plums, and a bird's nest with eggs, on a mossy bank das teuerste Kunstwerk von William H. Ward, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
