Auction result misses estimated price range
In January 2009 a collector was able to acquire the work 'A little garland fits a little head' (Robert Herrick) by Elizabeth Adela Stanhope Forbes for GBP 5,750.00 (€ 6,472.57). This price was achieved in the auction 20C British Art at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Elizabeth Adela Stanhope Forbes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work April in December 2006 with an auction result of GBP 142,400.00 (€ 211,339.43).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Januar 2009 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit 'A little garland fits a little head' (Robert Herrick) von Elizabeth Adela Stanhope Forbes für GBP 5.750,00 (€ 6.472,57) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion 20C British Art bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Elizabeth Adela Stanhope Forbes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit April im Dezember 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 142.400,00 (€ 211.339,43).
