Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2002 Christies in London held the auction IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU, which included the work Clemens Wenceslas of Saxony, Archbishop Elector of Trier (1739-1812), facing right in ermine cloak and white-bordered black bands, wearing black and white enamelled cross suspended from a red ribbon about his neck, powdered hair en queue by Franz Joseph Noortwyck. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 537.75 (€ 842.12) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Franz Joseph Noortwyck have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait Of Maria Amalia Of Saxony, Duchess Of The Palatine-Zweibrücken (1757-1831) in December 2019 with an auction result of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,136.59).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU durch, in der auch die Arbeit Clemens Wenceslas of Saxony, Archbishop Elector of Trier (1739-1812), facing right in ermine cloak and white-bordered black bands, wearing black and white enamelled cross suspended from a red ribbon about his neck, powdered hair en queue von Franz Joseph Noortwyck zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 537,75 (€ 842,12) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Franz Joseph Noortwyck auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait Of Maria Amalia Of Saxony, Duchess Of The Palatine-Zweibrücken (1757-1831) im Dezember 2019 mit einem Auktion
