Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Still life with squash, peaches, grapes and a pepper by William Henry Hunt was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2020. The price achieved of GBP 1,638.00 (€ 1,829.79) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Henry Hunt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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
Die Arbeit Still life with squash, peaches, grapes and a pepper von William Henry Hunt kam im Dezember 2020 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.638,00 (€ 1.829,79) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Henry Hunt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Eavesdropper im November 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 26.290,00 (€ 37.739,68).
