Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portraits Of Captain James And Mrs Katherine Ann Neish, Seated Small Three-Quarter Lengths, In An Interior by George Chinnery was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2020. The price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 13,954.22) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Chinnery achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Reeves Macao Album, 1836-1837 in July 2006 with an auction result of GBP 332,800.00 (€ 487,180.19).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portraits Of Captain James And Mrs Katherine Ann Neish, Seated Small Three-Quarter Lengths, In An Interior von George Chinnery kam im November 2020 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 13.954,22) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Chinnery erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Reeves Macao Album, 1836-1837 im Juli 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 332.800,00 (€ 487.180,19).
