Found at Christies, London
British Works on Paper, Lot 12
21. Nov - 21. Nov 2007
Estimate: 1.000 - 1.500 GBP
Price realised: 1.375 GBP
William Mulready, R.A. (1786-1863)
A boy firing a canon
pen and brown ink
4 7/8 x 4 5/8 in. (12.4 x 11.8 cm.); and Sir David Wilkie, R.A. (1745-1841), Study for 'Reading the Will', 2 1/8 x 3 in. (7.6 x 5.4 cm.) (2)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A boy firing a canon by William Mulready was sold in the British Works on Paper auction at Christies in London in November 2007. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,375.00 (€ 1,925.36) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Mulready achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Boys Fishing in December 2014 with an auction result of GBP 30,000.00 (€ 38,619.95).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A boy firing a canon von William Mulready wurde im November 2007 in der Auktion British Works on Paper bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.375,00 (€ 1.925,36) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Mulready erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Boys Fishing im Dezember 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 30.000,00 (€ 38.619,95).
