Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2003 Christies in London held the auction British Pictures 1500-1850, which included the work Portrait of Mary Rand, half-length, seated, in an oyster-satin dress with blue ribbons, holding a string of pearls, in an interior by a blue velvet curtain by Enoch Seeman. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 8,365.00 (€ 12,008.08) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Enoch Seeman have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait Of A Gentleman In Moroccan Dress, Probably John Montagu, 2Nd Duke Of Montagu (1690-1749) in December 2015 with an auction result of GBP 43,750.00 (€ 59,410.40).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Pictures 1500-1850 durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Mary Rand, half-length, seated, in an oyster-satin dress with blue ribbons, holding a string of pearls, in an interior by a blue velvet curtain von Enoch Seeman zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 8.365,00 (€ 12.008,08) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Enoch Seeman auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman In Moroccan Dress, Probably John Montagu, 2Nd Duke Of Montagu (1690-1749) im Dezember 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 43.750,00 (€ 59.410,40).
