Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Cap That Fits by Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 25,000.00 (€ 27,448.34). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot And all generations shall call her blessed sold at auction in December 2020 with the realized price of GBP 40,000.00 (€ 44,683.57).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Cap That Fits von Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale im Juli 2019 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 25.000,00 (€ 27.448,34) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit And all generations shall call her blessed im Dezember 2020 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 40.000,00 (€ 44.683,57).
