Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2009 a collector was able to acquire the work Round The Ring Of Roses by Jessie Willcox Smith for USD 110,500.00 (€ 77,100.20). This price was achieved in the auction American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 125,000.00 – 175,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jessie Willcox Smith - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work How Doth the Little Busy Bee, which sold at auction in April 2011 for USD 386,500.00 (€ 260,778.62).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember 2009 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Round The Ring Of Roses von Jessie Willcox Smith für USD 110.500,00 (€ 77.100,20) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 125.000,00 – 175.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Jessie Willcox Smith mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit How Doth the Little Busy Bee beobachtet, die im April 2011 für USD 386.500,00 (€ 260.778,62) versteigert wurde.
