Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by David Roberts achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2020. In the Old Master Day Sale including Old Master Paintings, Drawings and British Works on Paper auction, the work Encampment Of Pilgrims At Jericho sold for GBP 16,250.00 (€ 18,125.64) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by David Roberts achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Jerusalem, from the South in June 2016 with an auction result of GBP 962,500.00 (€ 1,155,314.09).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von David Roberts erzielte im Juli 2020 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Day Sale including Old Master Paintings, Drawings and British Works on Paper wurde die Arbeit Encampment Of Pilgrims At Jericho für GBP 16.250,00 (€ 18.125,64) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von David Roberts erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Jerusalem, from the South im Juni 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 962.500,00 (€ 1.155.314,09).
