Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait Of George Robert Smith (1793-1869) by William Charles Ross was sold in the Property from the Estate of Sir John and Lady Smith auction at Sothebys in London in July 2019. The price achieved of GBP 938.00 (€ 1,029.86) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Charles Ross achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Victoria, Princess Royal (1840-1901) As A Child, Holding The Long Blue Silk Ribbons Of Her Hat, In White Dress, Black Coat, Wearing A Blue-Lined Straw Hat Adorned With Black And Blue Ribbons On Her Curly Fair Hair; Landscape Background in November 2013 with an auction result of GBP 18,750.00 (€ 22,563.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait Of George Robert Smith (1793-1869) von William Charles Ross wurde im Juli 2019 in der Auktion Property from the Estate of Sir John and Lady Smith bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 938,00 (€ 1.029,86) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Charles Ross erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Victoria, Princess Royal (1840-1901) As A Child, Holding The Long Blue Silk Ribbons Of Her Hat, In White Dress, Black Coat, Wearing A Blue-Lined Straw Hat Adorned With Black And Blue Ribbons On Her Curly Fair Hair; Landscape Background im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 18.750,00 (€ 22.563,12).
