A top price for William John Huggins - as previously expected
In April 2011 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & Early British Paintings, which included the work The Opium Ships At Lintin, China, 1824 by William John Huggins. The price achieved of GBP 37,250.00 (€ 41,949.92) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Opium Ships At Lintin, China, 1824 is the most expensive artwork by William John Huggins that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im April 2011 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & Early British Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Opium Ships At Lintin, China, 1824 von William John Huggins zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 37.250,00 (€ 41.949,92) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Opium Ships At Lintin, China, 1824 das teuerste Kunstwerk von William John Huggins, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
