Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Portrait of James W. DePeyster by Charles Willson Peale was sold in the Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in December 2008. Here, the upper estimate of USD 100,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 104,500.00 (€ 75,077.23). 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Portrait of James W. DePeyster von Charles Willson Peale wurde im Dezember 2008 in der Auktion Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture bei Christies in New York versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 100.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 104.500,00 (€ 75.077,23) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
