Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by William Henry Hunt could be acquired at Sothebys in London in July 2019 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master & British Works on Paper auction, the work The Irish Orange Seller changed hands for GBP 2,375.00 (€ 2,607.59) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Henry Hunt konnte im Juli 2019 bei Sothebys in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master & British Works on Paper wechselte die Arbeit The Irish Orange Seller für GBP 2.375,00 (€ 2.607,59) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. 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).
