Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2011 Christies in London held the auction Russian Art, which included the work Portrait of a young gentleman by George Dawe. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 60,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 67,250.00 (€ 78,507.49). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Dawe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Grand Duke Nicholas, Later Emperor Nicholas I (1825-55), On Horseback, which sold at auction in November 2006 for GBP 108,000.00 (€ 160,383.38).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion Russian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of a young gentleman von George Dawe zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 60.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 67.250,00 (€ 78.507,49) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von George Dawe mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Grand Duke Nicholas, Later Emperor Nicholas I (1825-55), On Horseback beobachtet, die im November 2006 für GBP 108.000,00 (€ 160.383,38) versteigert wurde.
