Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2004 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours including Original Book, which included the work The farmyard - a summer morning by Wilmot Pilsbury. The price achieved of GBP 262.90 (€ 372.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200.00 – 400.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wilmot Pilsbury - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A woman at the door of a half-timbered cottage, with ducks in the garden, which sold at auction in May 2000 for GBP 775.50 (€ 1,244.39).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours including Original Book durch, in der auch die Arbeit The farmyard - a summer morning von Wilmot Pilsbury zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 262,90 (€ 372,08) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 200,00 – 400,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Wilmot Pilsbury mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A woman at the door of a half-timbered cottage, with ducks in the garden beobachtet, die im Mai 2000 für GBP 775,50 (€ 1.244,39) versteigert wurde.
