Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2016 Sothebys in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, which included the work The Poet'S Vision, Canto I, Laon And Cythna by William Huggins. The price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,614.53) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Huggins achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Two leopards in January 2011 with an auction result of USD 458,500.00 (€ 334,305.50).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2016 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Poet'S Vision, Canto I, Laon And Cythna von William Huggins zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.614,53) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Huggins erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Two leopards im Januar 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 458.500,00 (€ 334.305,50).
