Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2005 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours, which included the work "Late Hours Are No Good For One!" "Maybe, But They'Re Very Good For Two!!" (Illustrated); And "I Hope You'Ll Behave Yourself With Decorum At The Dance" "Well, It Depends On How Decorum Behaves Himself With Me!" by Donald Fraser Gould McGill. The price achieved of GBP 600.00 (€ 889.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500.00 – 700.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Donald Fraser Gould McGill - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Look at' er! Look at' er!, which sold at auction in June 2002 for GBP 1,410.00 (€ 2,180.95).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit "Late Hours Are No Good For One!" "Maybe, But They'Re Very Good For Two!!" (Illustrated); And "I Hope You'Ll Behave Yourself With Decorum At The Dance" "Well, It Depends On How Decorum Behaves Himself With Me!" von Donald Fraser Gould McGill zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 600,00 (€ 889,24) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Donald Fraser Gould McGill mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Look at' er! Look at' er! beobachtet, die im Juni 2002 für GBP 1.410,00 (€ 2.180,95) versteigert wurde.
