Auction result misses estimated price range
In September 2019 a collector was able to acquire the work The Broken Pitcher by Francis Wheatley for GBP 625.00 (€ 705.24). This price was achieved in the auction Old Master and British Works on Paper Online at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Wheatley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Equestrian portrait of Sir Henry Pigot (1750-1840) in December 2000 with an auction result of USD 369,000.00 (€ 393,054.96).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im September 2019 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The Broken Pitcher von Francis Wheatley für GBP 625,00 (€ 705,24) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Master and British Works on Paper Online bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Wheatley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Equestrian portrait of Sir Henry Pigot (1750-1840) im Dezember 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 369.000,00 (€ 393.054,96).
