Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2014 a collector was able to acquire the work Two messengers on camels, attached to the Governor General’s Camp by George Landseer for GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,511.35). This price was achieved in the auction Topographical Pictures at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by George Landseer have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait of Sir Chamarajendra Wodyar, Maharajah of Mysore, seated, half-length, in a white costume with a belt bearing a miniature portrait of Queen Victoria and a blue and gold turban in September 2000 with an auction result of GBP 8,812.50 (€ 14,746.00).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2014 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Two messengers on camels, attached to the Governor General’s Camp von George Landseer für GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.511,35) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Topographical Pictures bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von George Landseer auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait of Sir Chamarajendra Wodyar, Maharajah of Mysore, seated, half-length, in a white costume with a belt bearing a miniature portrait of Queen Victoria and a blue and gold turban im September 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.812,50 (€ 14.746,00).
