Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2011 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & Early British Paintings, which included the work The Barque Sylph, Beloging To Mr. Alexander Robertson Off The Macao, China by William John Huggins. The price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,077.15) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William John Huggins - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Opium Ships At Lintin, China, 1824, which sold at auction in April 2011 for GBP 37,250.00 (€ 41,949.92).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2011 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & Early British Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Barque Sylph, Beloging To Mr. Alexander Robertson Off The Macao, China von William John Huggins zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.077,15) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von William John Huggins mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Opium Ships At Lintin, China, 1824 beobachtet, die im April 2011 für GBP 37.250,00 (€ 41.949,92) versteigert wurde.
