Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Francis Cotes could be acquired at Sothebys in London in June 2008 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Important British Paintings auction, the work Portrait Of Sir William Langham (1737-1791) changed hands for GBP 9,375.00 (€ 11,850.31) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Cotes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Master Smith, full-length, in a mauve coat and breeches, his right hand resting on a kite, in a landscape in July 2014 with an auction result of GBP 422,500.00 (€ 532,905.34).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Francis Cotes konnte im Juni 2008 bei Sothebys in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Important British Paintings wechselte die Arbeit Portrait Of Sir William Langham (1737-1791) für GBP 9.375,00 (€ 11.850,31) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Cotes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Master Smith, full-length, in a mauve coat and breeches, his right hand resting on a kite, in a landscape im Juli 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 422.500,00 (€ 532.905,34).
