Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2007 Christies in London held the auction Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes, which included the work A young lady called Mrs Walter Jones, in white dress with puffed sleeves, pearl brooch at corsage, pearl necklace, her fair hair upswept in ringlets by Anne Mee. It changed hands for a price of GBP 750.00 (€ 1,050.19) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 600.00 – 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes durch, in der auch die Arbeit A young lady called Mrs Walter Jones, in white dress with puffed sleeves, pearl brooch at corsage, pearl necklace, her fair hair upswept in ringlets von Anne Mee zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 750,00 (€ 1.050,19) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 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).
