Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Unknown by Samuel Howitt was sold in the The Sporting Sale auction at Christies in London in September 2008. The result of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,264.40) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Samuel Howitt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A pair of tigers in September 2000 with an auction result of GBP 11,162.50 (€ 18,678.27).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Unknown von Samuel Howitt wurde im September 2008 in der Auktion The Sporting Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.264,40) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Samuel Howitt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A pair of tigers im September 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 11.162,50 (€ 18.678,27).
