Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2000 Christies in London held the auction SPORTING ART, which included the work Still life with pheasants, English partridges, woodcock, a tankard, a wheel-lock sporting rifle and a powder-flask by William Hughes. The price achieved of GBP 4,935.00 (€ 7,918.86) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Hughes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Flowers, Fruit, A Bullfinch And Its Nest, which sold at auction in November 2006 for GBP 20,400.00 (€ 30,294.64).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion SPORTING ART durch, in der auch die Arbeit Still life with pheasants, English partridges, woodcock, a tankard, a wheel-lock sporting rifle and a powder-flask von William Hughes zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.935,00 (€ 7.918,86) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von William Hughes mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Flowers, Fruit, A Bullfinch And Its Nest beobachtet, die im November 2006 für GBP 20.400,00 (€ 30.294,64) versteigert wurde.
