Auction result well in line with expectations
The work George Augustus Frederick, 6th Earl of Chesterfield, on his favourite hack by Sir Hercules by William Henry Davis was sold in the Sporting & Wildlife Art auction at Christies in London in December 2012. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,125.00 (€ 3,853.99) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Henry Davis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Colonel Newport Charlett's Favourite Greyhounds, at Hanley Court, Worcestershire in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 56,250.00 (€ 62,836.26).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit George Augustus Frederick, 6th Earl of Chesterfield, on his favourite hack by Sir Hercules von William Henry Davis wurde im Dezember 2012 in der Auktion Sporting & Wildlife Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.125,00 (€ 3.853,99) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Henry Davis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Colonel Newport Charlett's Favourite Greyhounds, at Hanley Court, Worcestershire im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 56.250,00 (€ 62.836,26).
