Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

When the work The By-Way, Boothbay Harbor, Maine 14 7/8 x 16 1/8 in. (37.8 x 41 cm.) by Eleanor Parke Custis was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 6,885.00 (€ 6,415.99). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Eleanor Parke Custis; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot On the Ways-Gloucester sold at auction in November last year with the realized price of USD 7,012.50 (€ 6,793.08).

Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit The By-Way, Boothbay Harbor, Maine 14 7/8 x 16 1/8 in. (37.8 x 41 cm.) von Eleanor Parke Custis im Mai letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 6.885,00 (€ 6.415,99) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Eleanor Parke Custis; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit On the Ways-Gloucester im November letzten Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 7.012,50 (€ 6.793,08).
