William Hughes (1842-1901)
"Like Autumn Fruit that mellowed long" - Dryden
signed and dated 'W Hughes 1869' (lower left)
oil on canvas
24 x 20 in. (61 x 50.8 cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work "Like Autumn Fruit that mellowed long" - Dryden by William Hughes was sold in the Victorian Pictures auction at Christies in London in June 2003. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,182.50 (€ 6,010.48) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by William Hughes have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Flowers, Fruit, A Bullfinch And Its Nest in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 20,400.00 (€ 30,294.64).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit "Like Autumn Fruit that mellowed long" - Dryden von William Hughes wurde im Juni 2003 in der Auktion Victorian Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.182,50 (€ 6.010,48) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Hughes auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Flowers, Fruit, A Bullfinch And Its Nest im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 20.400,00 (€ 30.294,64).
