British and Victorian Paintings, Lot 254
9. NOV - 9. NOV 2005
Estimate: 300 - 500 GBP
Price realised: 360 GBP
William H. Ward (fl.1850-1882)
Grapes, a fig, peach and bird's nest on a mossy bank
signed 'W H Ward' (lower left)
oil on canvas
8¾ x 11¾ in. (22.3 x 29.8 cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Grapes, A Fig, Peach And Bird'S Nest On A Mossy Bank by William H. Ward was sold in the British and Victorian Paintings auction at Christies in London in November 2005. The price achieved of GBP 360.00 (€ 528.89) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William H. Ward achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Geraniums, plums, and a bird's nest with eggs, on a mossy bank in November 2000 with an auction result of GBP 3,525.00 (€ 5,761.47).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Grapes, A Fig, Peach And Bird'S Nest On A Mossy Bank von William H. Ward wurde im November 2005 in der Auktion British and Victorian Paintings bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 360,00 (€ 528,89) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William H. Ward erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Geraniums, plums, and a bird's nest with eggs, on a mossy bank im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.525,00 (€ 5.761,47).
