Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2013 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale, which included the work Portrait Of Archdeacon Strachey And His Family by William Beechey. The price achieved of GBP 230,500.00 (€ 277,255.75) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Beechey - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Dashwood Children, which sold at auction in January 2014 for USD 821,000.00 (€ 608,148.15).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2013 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of Archdeacon Strachey And His Family von William Beechey zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 230.500,00 (€ 277.255,75) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von William Beechey mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Dashwood Children beobachtet, die im Januar 2014 für USD 821.000,00 (€ 608.148,15) versteigert wurde.
