Auction result well in line with expectations
The work An English Merry-Making A Hundred Years Ago by William Powell Frith was sold in the British and European Art auction at Bonhams in March this year. The price achieved of GBP 3,570.00 (€ 4,061.56) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. 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

Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.570,00 (€ 4.061,56) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 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).
