This artwork by Anne Mee achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2000. In the IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU auction, the work A young gentleman, facing right in blue coat, white waistcoat and cravat, powdered curling hair sold for GBP 1,410.00 (€ 2,304.59) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Anne Mee achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Captain And Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Grosvenor (1764-1851) in April 2008 with an auction result of GBP 19,700.00 (€ 25,114.72).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Anne Mee erzielte im November 2000 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU wurde die Arbeit A young gentleman, facing right in blue coat, white waistcoat and cravat, powdered curling hair für GBP 1.410,00 (€ 2.304,59) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Anne Mee erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Captain And Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Grosvenor (1764-1851) im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 19.700,00 (€ 25.114,72).
