Auction result well in line with expectations
In January last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Master Works on Paper from Five Centuries, which included the work Light and Shade by William Henry Hunt. The price achieved of USD 8,190.00 (€ 7,304.67) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 7,000.00 – 9,000.00. Admittedly, works by William Henry Hunt have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Eavesdropper in November 2003 with an auction result of GBP 26,290.00 (€ 37,739.68).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Master Works on Paper from Five Centuries durch, in der auch die Arbeit Light and Shade von William Henry Hunt zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 8.190,00 (€ 7.304,67) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 7.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Henry Hunt auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Eavesdropper im November 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 26.290,00 (€ 37.739,68).
