Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2008 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Review Orders: A trooper of the 17th Lancers (illustrated); An officer of the 5th Lancers; An officer of the 17th Lancers; An officer of the 21st Hussars; and A trooper of the 5th Lancers by Richard Simkin. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,858.65) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by Richard Simkin have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in January 2001 the work 10th Prince of Wales's Own Royal Hussars; and three others was auctioned for USD 5,287.50 (€ 5,680.60).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit Review Orders: A trooper of the 17th Lancers (illustrated); An officer of the 5th Lancers; An officer of the 17th Lancers; An officer of the 21st Hussars; and A trooper of the 5th Lancers von Richard Simkin zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.250,00 (€ 2.858,65) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Andere Arbeiten von Richard Simkin konnten bereits höhere Auktionspreise erzielen, so wurde im Januar 2001 die Arbeit 10th Prince of Wales's Own Royal Hussars; and three others für USD 5.287,50 (€ 5.680,60) versteigert.
