Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a black coat and waistcoat, with a white stock by Francis William Wilkin was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 875.00 (€ 1,004.19). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francis William Wilkin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of General Don Miguel Alava, K.C.B., (1771-1843), half-length, wearing the Waterloo medal, which sold at auction in May 2014 for GBP 2,375.00 (€ 2,918.95).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a black coat and waistcoat, with a white stock von Francis William Wilkin im Juli 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 875,00 (€ 1.004,19) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Francis William Wilkin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of General Don Miguel Alava, K.C.B., (1771-1843), half-length, wearing the Waterloo medal beobachtet, die im Mai 2014 für GBP 2.375,00 (€ 2.918,95) versteigert wurde.
