Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Sidmouth by David Roberts was sold in the 19th Century and British Impressionist Art auction at Bonhams in London in October 2020. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 3,500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 3,562.50 (€ 3,955.85). 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 leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Sidmouth von David Roberts wurde im Oktober 2020 in der Auktion 19th Century and British Impressionist Art bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 3.500,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 3.562,50 (€ 3.955,85) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
