Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by William Percy French could be acquired at Sothebys in London in September 2018 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Yellow Ball: The Frank and Lorna Dunphy Collection auction, the work New York changed hands for GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,088.60) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Percy French konnte im September 2018 bei Sothebys in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Yellow Ball: The Frank and Lorna Dunphy Collection wechselte die Arbeit New York für GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.088,60) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. 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).
