Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Haverfordwest Castle, South Wales by William Pitt was sold in the British and Victorian Paintings auction at Christies in London in November 2005. It achieved a price of GBP 840.00 (€ 1,234.07), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Pitt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Near Stoke Gabriel on the Dart, Devon; and Cottage at Hooe, near Plymouth in September 2000 with an auction result of GBP 8,225.00 (€ 13,762.94).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Haverfordwest Castle, South Wales von William Pitt wurde im November 2005 in der Auktion British and Victorian Paintings bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 840,00 (€ 1.234,07) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 20%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Pitt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Near Stoke Gabriel on the Dart, Devon; and Cottage at Hooe, near Plymouth im September 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.225,00 (€ 13.762,94).
