Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Portrait Of Adam Atkinson Of Torbottle by Arthur William Devis was sold in the Important Old Master Paintings Including European Works of Art auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2008. The auction ended at the price of USD 15,000.00 (€ 10,107.14), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Arthur William Devis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of the children of Benjamin Goldsmid, with a pony and a dog in a landscape in May last year with an auction result of GBP 201,600.00 (€ 237,163.21).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Portrait Of Adam Atkinson Of Torbottle von Arthur William Devis wurde im Januar 2008 in der Auktion Important Old Master Paintings Including European Works of Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 10.107,14) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Arthur William Devis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of the children of Benjamin Goldsmid, with a pony and a dog in a landscape im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 201.600,00 (€ 237.163,21).
