10 x 14 in. (25.4 x 35.6 cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2007 Christies in London held the auction The Irish Sale, which included the work Donegal landscape by William Percy French. The price achieved of GBP 6,000.00 (€ 8,829.41) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Percy French achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Paint Brush and Pen: Some Impressions for Pictures and Snatches of Song by William Percy French'; an album of thirteen watercolours including The Fairie's Cough; Morning; Evening; In the Studio; The Kindly Welcome; To E.R.; To the Dark Rosaleen; Gor in May 2000 with an auction result of GBP 58,750.00 (€ 94,2

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Irish Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Donegal landscape von William Percy French zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 6.000,00 (€ 8.829,41) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Percy French erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Paint Brush and Pen: Some Impressions for Pictures and Snatches of Song by William Percy French'; an album of thirteen watercolours including The Fairie's Cough; Morning; Evening; In the Studio; The Kindly Welcome; To E.R.; To the Dark Rosaleen; Gor im Mai 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 58.750,00 (€ 94.272,08).
