Sold at the lower estimate price
In July 2021 Christies in London held the auction Old Master and British Drawings and Watercolours including a Fine Collection of Old Master Prints, which included the work Elizabeth Montagu, Duchess of Manchester (c.1740-1832) by Catherine Read. The result of GBP 4,000.00 (€ 4,690.83) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Catherine Read - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Lady Isabella Stanhope, later Countess of Sefton (1748-1819), half-length, in Hussar's costume, with a blue pelisse over a braided red dolman, which sold at auction in May 2012 for GBP 10,625.00 (€ 13,238.28).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Juli 2021 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master and British Drawings and Watercolours including a Fine Collection of Old Master Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit Elizabeth Montagu, Duchess of Manchester (c.1740-1832) von Catherine Read zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 4.000,00 (€ 4.690,83) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 7.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Catherine Read mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Lady Isabella Stanhope, later Countess of Sefton (1748-1819), half-length, in Hussar's costume, with a blue pelisse over a braided red dolman beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für GBP 10.625,00 (€ 13.238,28) versteigert wurde.
