Townscapes and architecture were the favorite subjects of Walter Lees (1916-2010), an avid art and antique collector who devoted himself to photography since the late 1980s. Many of his views are from India and Russia and became the leitmotif of his oeuvre. Here is a view of the Amber Palace in Jaipur, the capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan. The photograph probably shows a section of a niche of the facade, which is distorted in an interesting way by the perspective of detail.

The photograph is signed and dated with ‘Walter Lees 1996' lower right and inscribed with ‘The Amber Palace Jaipur’ lower left. The reverse bears the address of a former owner. It is matted under glass in a gilt wooden frame. The photograph and the frame are in very good condition, showing minor signs of use. The dimensions of the paper are 25.5 x 20.2 cm, and the frame measures 39 x 24 cm. (cko)

The amount of the buyer`s premium is calculated as follows:

at a hammer price up to 1.000.000,00 Euro the buyer´s premium is 29.75 % (including VAT); the buyer's premium amounts to 23.8 % (including VAT) of the winning bid for classic cars.

at a hammer price between 1.000.000,01 Euro and 2.000.000,00 Euro the buyer´s premium is 23,80 % (including VAT) for the (partial) amount of 1.000.000,00 Euro and 17,85% (including VAT) for the (partial) amount between 1.000.000,01 Euro and 2.000.000,00 Euro

at a hammer price more than 2.000.000,01 Euro the buyer´s premium is 17.85 % (including VAT) for the (partial) amount of 1.000.000,00 Euro, 17,85% (including VAT) for the (partial) amount between 1.000.000,01 Euro and 2.000.000,00 Euro and 14,28% (including VAT) for the (partial) amount beginning with 2.000.000,01 Euro.
