Upper estimate price exceeded by 88 %.

This artwork by Charles Willson Peale achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in September 2014. In the American Furniture, Outsider and Folk Art auction, the work Portrait of Captain John Lewis (1747-1825) sold for USD 56,250.00 (€ 44,543.87) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Willson Peale achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work George Washington at Princeton in January 2006 with an auction result of USD 21,296,000.00 (€ 17,516,038.82).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Charles Willson Peale erzielte im September 2014 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion American Furniture, Outsider and Folk Art wurde die Arbeit Portrait of Captain John Lewis (1747-1825) für USD 56.250,00 (€ 44.543,87) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Willson Peale erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit George Washington at Princeton im Januar 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 21.296.000,00 (€ 17.516.038,82).
