Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2010 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction European Noble and Private Collections incl. Fine Paintings, which included the work An equestrian portrait of King Frederick II of Prussia (1712-1786), in military dress by Carl Adolph Heinrich Hess. It changed hands for a price of EUR 1,875.00 achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of EUR 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Carl Adolph Heinrich Hess achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ural Cossacks with their Ataman D.M. Borodin during the Suvorov Swiss Campaign in 1790 in October 2003 with an auction result of USD 57,360.00 (€ 49,409.94).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2010 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion European Noble and Private Collections incl. Fine Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit An equestrian portrait of King Frederick II of Prussia (1712-1786), in military dress von Carl Adolph Heinrich Hess zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von EUR 1.875,00 den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von EUR 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Carl Adolph Heinrich Hess erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ural Cossacks with their Ataman D.M. Borodin during the Suvorov Swiss Campaign in 1790 im Oktober 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 57.360,00 (€ 49.409,94).
