Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July 2007 Sothebys in Olympia held the auction British & Continental Pictures including Sporting and Marine Paintings, which included the work View Of Constantinople: Milling In The Avenue by William Purser. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,600.00 (€ 5,346.83), 20% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Purser - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Constantinople, showing the Topkapi and the Suleimaniye with the Sultan's Barge in the foreground, which sold at auction in June 2012 for GBP 10,625.00 (€ 13,156.28).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juli 2007 führte Sothebys in Olympia die Auktion British & Continental Pictures including Sporting and Marine Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit View Of Constantinople: Milling In The Avenue von William Purser zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 3.600,00 (€ 5.346,83) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von William Purser mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Constantinople, showing the Topkapi and the Suleimaniye with the Sultan's Barge in the foreground beobachtet, die im Juni 2012 für GBP 10.625,00 (€ 13.156,28) versteigert wurde.
