The work A kingfisher by William Thomas Lewin was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2017. It achieved a price of GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,250.71), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 67%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Thomas Lewin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Summer Tanager 'Piranga rubra' (North America), which sold at auction in September 2007 for GBP 3,500.00 (€ 5,018.74).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit A kingfisher von William Thomas Lewin kam im Dezember 2017 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 2.000,00 (€ 2.250,71) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 67%. Für andere Arbeiten von William Thomas Lewin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Summer Tanager 'Piranga rubra' (North America) beobachtet, die im September 2007 für GBP 3.500,00 (€ 5.018,74) versteigert wurde.
