A top price for William Sartorius - as previously expected
In December 2006 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian Pictures, which included the work Mallard drakes fighting, with ducks and ducklings in a stream by William Sartorius. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 5,400.00 (€ 8,014.28) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Mallard drakes fighting, with ducks and ducklings in a stream is the most expensive artwork by William Sartorius that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Dezember 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mallard drakes fighting, with ducks and ducklings in a stream von William Sartorius zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 5.400,00 (€ 8.014,28) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Mallard drakes fighting, with ducks and ducklings in a stream das teuerste Kunstwerk von William Sartorius, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
