Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2020 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters including Portrait Miniatures from the Pohl-Ströher Collection, which included the work Portrait Of A Gentleman, Circa 1805 by George Engleheart. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,500.00 (€ 3,885.38), 17% 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 leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2020 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters including Portrait Miniatures from the Pohl-Ströher Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman, Circa 1805 von George Engleheart zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 3.500,00 (€ 3.885,38) und damit 17% 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).
