Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Francis Wheatley achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in February 2005. In the THE HOUSE SALE auction, the work Theseus and Hippolyta Find the Lovers, from A Midsummer Night's Dream sold for USD 26,400.00 (€ 19,888.50) - well above the upper estimate of USD 9,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Francis Wheatley erzielte im Februar 2005 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion THE HOUSE SALE wurde die Arbeit Theseus and Hippolyta Find the Lovers, from A Midsummer Night's Dream für USD 26.400,00 (€ 19.888,50) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 9.000,00. 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).
