WILLIAM TROST RICHARDS (1833-1905)
Moonlit Seascape
signed and dated 'Wm T. Richards 1875.' (lower left)
watercolor on paper
8 1/4 x 14 in. (20.9 x 35.6 cm.)
Executed in 1875.

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by William Trost Richards achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January this year. In the 19th Century American Art auction, the work Moonlit Seascape sold for USD 11,970.00 (€ 11,024.13) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Trost Richards achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mackerel Cove, Jamestown, Rhode Island in May 2011 with an auction result of USD 1,650,500.00 (€ 1,148,094.05).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von William Trost Richards erzielte im Januar diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 19th Century American Art wurde die Arbeit Moonlit Seascape für USD 11.970,00 (€ 11.024,13) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Trost Richards erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mackerel Cove, Jamestown, Rhode Island im Mai 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.650.500,00 (€ 1.148.094,05).
