Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2001 Christies in London held the auction BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL PAINTINGS, which included the work Portrait of a Spanish beauty, bust-length, wearing black with a rose in her hair, holding a fan by William Oliver. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,057.50 (€ 1,660.21) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by William Oliver have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Grand Canal, Venice in November 2000 with an auction result of GBP 7,637.50 (€ 12,483.19).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of a Spanish beauty, bust-length, wearing black with a rose in her hair, holding a fan von William Oliver zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.057,50 (€ 1.660,21) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Oliver auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Grand Canal, Venice im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.637,50 (€ 12.483,19).
