A top price for Francis Hargreaves - as previously expected
In December 2002 Christies in London held the auction OBJECTS OF VERTU, PORTRAIT MINIATURES AND ICONS, which included the work A couple: he, facing right in black coat, waistcoat and bow-tie; she, facing right in black dress with lace collar and matching bonnet, gold brooch at corsage; both seated in chairs by Francis Hargreaves. The price achieved of GBP 587.50 (€ 901.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500.00 – 700.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A couple: he, facing right in black coat, waistcoat and bow-tie; she, facing right in black dress with lace collar and matching bonnet, gold brooch at corsage; both seated in chairs is the most expensive artwork by Francis Hargreaves that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Dezember 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion OBJECTS OF VERTU, PORTRAIT MINIATURES AND ICONS durch, in der auch die Arbeit A couple: he, facing right in black coat, waistcoat and bow-tie; she, facing right in black dress with lace collar and matching bonnet, gold brooch at corsage; both seated in chairs von Francis Hargreaves zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 587,50 (€ 901,84) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A couple: he, facing right in black coat, waistcoat and bow-tie; she, facing right in black dress with lace collar and matching bonnet, gold brooch at corsage; both seated in chairs das teuerste Kunstwerk von Francis Hargreaves, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
