Enoch Seeman (c. 1694-1745)
Portrait of Robert D'Arcy, 3rd Earl of Holdernesse (1681-1721), full-length, in Peer's robes, his coronet beside him, in an interior
oil on canvas
96 x 60½ in. (243.8 x 153.7 cm.)
in an early 18th Century acantus enriched frame with flowered spandrels

Auction result well in line with expectations

In December 2000 Christies in London held the auction British Pictures 1500-1850, which included the work Portrait of Robert D'Arcy, 3rd Earl of Holdernesse (1681-1721), full-length, in Peer's robes, his coronet beside him, in an interior by Enoch Seeman. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 5,287.50 (€ 8,422.94) 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 Dezember 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Pictures 1500-1850 durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Robert D'Arcy, 3rd Earl of Holdernesse (1681-1721), full-length, in Peer's robes, his coronet beside him, in an interior von Enoch Seeman zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 5.287,50 (€ 8.422,94) 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).
