Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The Action at Trafalgar, 21 October 1805 by William Daniell was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 33,750.00 (€ 39,888.55) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Daniell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Shivala Ghaut and Cheyt Singh's House near Benares in December 2016 with an auction result of GBP 485,000.00 (€ 567,043.69).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit The Action at Trafalgar, 21 October 1805 von William Daniell kam im Dezember 2019 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 33.750,00 (€ 39.888,55) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Daniell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Shivala Ghaut and Cheyt Singh's House near Benares im Dezember 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 485.000,00 (€ 567.043,69).
