Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2008 Sothebys in London held the auction Important Miniatures from a Private Collection, which included the work Portrait Of Miss Frances (Fanny) Kemble, Afterwards Mrs Twiss (1759-1822) by Edward Miles. The price achieved of GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,187.15) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Miles - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A gentleman facing right in grey coat with brass buttons, white waistcoat and frilled cravat, powdered hair en queue; and his young son, facing right in white shirt with large frilled collar and red jacket, curling fair hair (by Thomas Hull), which sold at auction in April 2002 for GBP 4,935.00 (€ 7,984.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2008 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Important Miniatures from a Private Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of Miss Frances (Fanny) Kemble, Afterwards Mrs Twiss (1759-1822) von Edward Miles zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.500,00 (€ 3.187,15) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Edward Miles mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A gentleman facing right in grey coat with brass buttons, white waistcoat and frilled cravat, powdered hair en queue; and his young son, facing right in white shirt with large frilled collar and red jacket, curling fair hair (by Thomas Hull) beobachtet, die im April 2002 für GBP 4.935,00 (€ 7.984,70) versteigert wurde.
