This artwork by William Percy French achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2007. In the The Irish Sale Part II auction, the work Morning over the bog sold for GBP 3,840.00 (€ 5,650.82) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. 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
Oberer Schätzpreis um 92 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Percy French erzielte im Mai 2007 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Irish Sale Part II wurde die Arbeit Morning over the bog für GBP 3.840,00 (€ 5.650,82) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00. 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).
