Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Leisure Hours by William Sidney Mount was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2015. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 52,500.00 (€ 49,706.49) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Sidney Mount achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Ramblers in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 2,281,000.00 (€ 1,465,938.30).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Leisure Hours von William Sidney Mount kam im November 2015 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 52.500,00 (€ 49.706,49) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Sidney Mount erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Ramblers im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.281.000,00 (€ 1.465.938,30).
