24 x 36 in. (61 x 91.4 cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A chance meeting in the Highlands by William Linnell was sold in the Victorian & British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in March 2012. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,247.78) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Linnell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Gathering The Flock, which sold at auction in June 2006 for GBP 5,760.00 (€ 8,334.62).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A chance meeting in the Highlands von William Linnell wurde im März 2012 in der Auktion Victorian & British Impressionist Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.247,78) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von William Linnell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Gathering The Flock beobachtet, die im Juni 2006 für GBP 5.760,00 (€ 8.334,62) versteigert wurde.
