Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2019 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Works on Paper, which included the work Harvesting By Moonlight by George Barret the Younger. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,019.32) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Barret the Younger - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Solitude: An Italianate Landscape With A Figure Reclining Beneath Trees, which sold at auction in July 2017 for GBP 6,000.00 (€ 6,695.08).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2019 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Harvesting By Moonlight von George Barret the Younger zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.019,32) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von George Barret the Younger mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Solitude: An Italianate Landscape With A Figure Reclining Beneath Trees beobachtet, die im Juli 2017 für GBP 6.000,00 (€ 6.695,08) versteigert wurde.
