Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Circassia. Teherkess of the Soubash. by William Simpson was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2007. The price achieved of GBP 3,750.00 (€ 5,377.22) 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 Simpson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives in March last year with an auction result of GBP 94,500.00 (€ 112,040.39).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Circassia. Teherkess of the Soubash. von William Simpson kam im September 2007 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.750,00 (€ 5.377,22) 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 Simpson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 94.500,00 (€ 112.040,39).
