Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction Town & Country: A Private Collection, which included the work Portrait of Thomas Starkie, of Frenchwood House, Preston, full-length, sitting by a tree, holding a book by Arthur Devis. The price achieved of GBP 5,292.00 (€ 6,312.25) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Arthur Devis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Thomas Bateman Lane (b. 1735), small full-length, in a grey suit with a blue waistcoat, holding a tricorn in his left hand, leaning on a tree stump, in a river landscape with the sea beyond in June 2004 with an auction result of GBP 53,775.00 (€ 80,033.31).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Town & Country: A Private Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Thomas Starkie, of Frenchwood House, Preston, full-length, sitting by a tree, holding a book von Arthur Devis zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 5.292,00 (€ 6.312,25) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Arthur Devis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Thomas Bateman Lane (b. 1735), small full-length, in a grey suit with a blue waistcoat, holding a tricorn in his left hand, leaning on a tree stump, in a river landscape with the sea beyond im Juni 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 53.775,00 (€ 80.033,31).
