Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price

When the work A shepherdess garlanding her swain, a young man playing a pipe by Francis Barlow was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,691.62). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Barlow achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An ostrich; and A cassowary in June 2002 with an auction result of GBP 160,650.00 (€ 248,489.17).

Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit A shepherdess garlanding her swain, a young man playing a pipe von Francis Barlow im Dezember 2016 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.691,62) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Barlow erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An ostrich; and A cassowary im Juni 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 160.650,00 (€ 248.489,17).
