Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The truant detected by William Hemsley was sold in the BRITISH AND VICTORIAN PICTURES auction at Christies in London in May 2003. The price achieved of GBP 4,230.00 (€ 5,893.45) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Hemsley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sunday Morning, which sold at auction in June 2000 for GBP 12,925.00 (€ 20,487.72).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The truant detected von William Hemsley wurde im Mai 2003 in der Auktion BRITISH AND VICTORIAN PICTURES bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.230,00 (€ 5.893,45) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von William Hemsley mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sunday Morning beobachtet, die im Juni 2000 für GBP 12.925,00 (€ 20.487,72) versteigert wurde.
