Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2003 Christies in London held the auction BRITISH AND VICTORIAN PICTURES, which included the work The young musician by William Mulready. The price achieved of GBP 940.00 (€ 1,349.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. 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
Im November 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion BRITISH AND VICTORIAN PICTURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit The young musician von William Mulready zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 940,00 (€ 1.349,38) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. 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).
