Sold at the lower estimate price
In October 2007 Christies in London held the auction British & Continental Watercolours and Drawings, which included the work Sorting the catch by William Leighton Leitch. The result of GBP 500.00 (€ 718.03) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 500.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Leighton Leitch achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Villa of Lucullus At Miseneum in November 2005 with an auction result of GBP 48,000.00 (€ 70,518.07).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Oktober 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion British & Continental Watercolours and Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sorting the catch von William Leighton Leitch zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 500,00 (€ 718,03) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 500,00 – 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Leighton Leitch erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Villa of Lucullus At Miseneum im November 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 48.000,00 (€ 70.518,07).
