William Smith (British, fl. 1813-1859)
A pack of foxhounds on a bank above a rocky gorge
oil on canvas
40½ x 50½ in. (101.9 x 128.3 cm.)

A top price for William Smith - as previously expected

The work A pack of foxhounds on a bank above a rocky gorge by William Smith was sold in the Sporting and Wildlife Art auction at Christies in New York in December 2008. The price achieved of USD 41,250.00 (€ 29,635.75) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A pack of foxhounds on a bank above a rocky gorge is the most expensive artwork by William Smith that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit A pack of foxhounds on a bank above a rocky gorge von William Smith wurde im Dezember 2008 in der Auktion Sporting and Wildlife Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 41.250,00 (€ 29.635,75) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A pack of foxhounds on a bank above a rocky gorge das teuerste Kunstwerk von William Smith, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
