Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Cattle On A Country Track Before A Ruined Tower (Illustrated); A Drover And Cattle Before A Ruined Castle At Dusk; And Figures Walking On A Country Lane Before A Tower by William Leighton Leitch was sold in the Christie's Interiors auction at Christies in London in May 2013. The price achieved of GBP 1,562.50 (€ 1,826.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. 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).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Cattle On A Country Track Before A Ruined Tower (Illustrated); A Drover And Cattle Before A Ruined Castle At Dusk; And Figures Walking On A Country Lane Before A Tower von William Leighton Leitch wurde im Mai 2013 in der Auktion Christie's Interiors bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.562,50 (€ 1.826,81) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00 angegeben worden. 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).
