Upper estimate price exceeded by 53 %.
The work Portrait Of Jean Nisbet, Lady Banff (D. 1790), Half-Length, Wearing A White Silk Dress And Blue Wrap by Allan Ramsay was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2019. It achieved a price of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 30,193.17), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 53%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Allan Ramsay achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Anne, Lady North (c. 1740-1797), wife of Frederick North, 2nd Baron North, three-quarter-length, in a pink dress and lace shawl with roses at her décolletage, and a lace headdress, by a column in July 2008 with an auction result of GBP 421,250.00 (€ 535,202.87).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 53 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Portrait Of Jean Nisbet, Lady Banff (D. 1790), Half-Length, Wearing A White Silk Dress And Blue Wrap von Allan Ramsay kam im Juli 2019 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 30.193,17) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 53%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Allan Ramsay erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Anne, Lady North (c. 1740-1797), wife of Frederick North, 2nd Baron North, three-quarter-length, in a pink dress and lace shawl with roses at her décolletage, and a lace headdress, by a column im Juli 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 421.250,00 (€ 535.202,87).
