Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Hindu girl seated cross-legged spinning watched by a parrot by Arthur William Devis was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2003. The price achieved of GBP 10,157.50 (€ 10,231.37) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Arthur William Devis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of the children of Benjamin Goldsmid, with a pony and a dog in a landscape in May last year with an auction result of GBP 201,600.00 (€ 237,163.21).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Hindu girl seated cross-legged spinning watched by a parrot von Arthur William Devis kam im September 2003 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.157,50 (€ 10.231,37) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Arthur William Devis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of the children of Benjamin Goldsmid, with a pony and a dog in a landscape im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 201.600,00 (€ 237.163,21).
