Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait Of A Young Gentleman by George Dawe was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 22,500.00 (€ 26,420.50). Admittedly, works by George Dawe 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 Grand Duke Nicholas, Later Emperor Nicholas I (1825-55), On Horseback in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 108,000.00 (€ 160,383.38).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of A Young Gentleman von George Dawe im November 2019 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 22.500,00 (€ 26.420,50) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von George Dawe auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait of Grand Duke Nicholas, Later Emperor Nicholas I (1825-55), On Horseback im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 108.000,00 (€ 160.383,38).
