Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2019 Sothebys in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art, which included the work The Lover'S Seat by William Powell Frith. The price achieved of GBP 23,750.00 (€ 26,075.92) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Powell Frith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Derby Day: the 'first study' for the celebrated painting in December 2011 with an auction result of GBP 505,250.00 (€ 605,108.24).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2019 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Lover'S Seat von William Powell Frith zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 23.750,00 (€ 26.075,92) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Powell Frith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Derby Day: the 'first study' for the celebrated painting im Dezember 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 505.250,00 (€ 605.108,24).
