In November 2000 Christies in New York held the auction Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work The Young Traveler by William Sidney Mount. The »bidding war« ended at USD 391,000.00 (€ 449,735.45), 56% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Sidney Mount - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Ramblers, which sold at auction in May 2008 for USD 2,281,000.00 (€ 1,465,938.30).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen

Im November 2000 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Young Traveler von William Sidney Mount zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 391.000,00 (€ 449.735,45) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von William Sidney Mount mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Ramblers beobachtet, die im Mai 2008 für USD 2.281.000,00 (€ 1.465.938,30) versteigert wurde.
