Auction result well in line with expectations
The work M. Paul Lessar, 'The Afghan Frontier' Civil Engineer and Russian Diplomat by Carlo Pellegrini was sold in the JOHN FRANKS COLL. OF ORIGINAL WATERCOLOURS FOR VANITY FAIR auction at Christies in London in December 2005. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,264.25) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Carlo Pellegrini - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Adelboden, which sold at auction in January 2016 for GBP 5,625.00 (€ 7,365.68).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit M. Paul Lessar, 'The Afghan Frontier' Civil Engineer and Russian Diplomat von Carlo Pellegrini wurde im Dezember 2005 in der Auktion JOHN FRANKS COLL. OF ORIGINAL WATERCOLOURS FOR VANITY FAIR bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.264,25) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Carlo Pellegrini mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Adelboden beobachtet, die im Januar 2016 für GBP 5.625,00 (€ 7.365,68) versteigert wurde.
