The work Portrait Of A Gentleman, Circa 1800 by George Engleheart was sold in the Old Master Paintings and Portrait Miniatures auction at Sothebys in London in April 2021. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,788.00 (€ 5,507.59), 60% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Engleheart achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A young lady, facing right in low-cut white dress, white shirt with high standing lace-bordered collar, lace cap and straw bonnet tied with white ribbons in her dark brown curling hair in December 2002 with an auction result of GBP 45,410.00 (€ 69,706.62).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 60 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman, Circa 1800 von George Engleheart wurde im April 2021 in der Auktion Old Master Paintings and Portrait Miniatures bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.788,00 (€ 5.507,59) und damit 60% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Engleheart erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A young lady, facing right in low-cut white dress, white shirt with high standing lace-bordered collar, lace cap and straw bonnet tied with white ribbons in her dark brown curling hair im Dezember 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 45.410,00 (€ 69.706,62).
