A top price for Francis Cotes
In July 2014 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale, which included the work Portrait of Master Smith, full-length, in a mauve coat and breeches, his right hand resting on a kite, in a landscape by Francis Cotes. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 422,500.00 (€ 532,905.34), 21% above the upper estimate. With this result, Portrait of Master Smith, full-length, in a mauve coat and breeches, his right hand resting on a kite, in a landscape is even the most expensive work of art by Francis Cotes that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Francis Cotes
Im Juli 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Master Smith, full-length, in a mauve coat and breeches, his right hand resting on a kite, in a landscape von Francis Cotes zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 422.500,00 (€ 532.905,34) und damit 21% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Mit diesem Ergebnis ist Portrait of Master Smith, full-length, in a mauve coat and breeches, his right hand resting on a kite, in a landscape sogar das teuerste Kunstwerk von Francis Cotes, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
