Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of a boy, bust-length with a posy in his buttonhole by George Dance The Younger was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2002, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,762.50 (€ 2,726.19). Other works by George Dance The Younger have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in January last year by the work "The Nobodies" at USD 5,292.00 (€ 4,719.94).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of a boy, bust-length with a posy in his buttonhole von George Dance The Younger im Juni 2002 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.762,50 (€ 2.726,19) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von George Dance The Younger wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Januar letzten Jahres die Arbeit "The Nobodies" mit USD 5.292,00 (€ 4.719,94).
