Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work Portrait Of A Lady, Traditionally Identified As Elizabeth Farren, Later Countess Of Derby, Circa 1790 by George Engleheart was sold in the The Pohl-Ströher Collection of Portrait Miniatures, Part III auction at Sothebys in London in December 2019. It achieved a price of GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,432.06), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. 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 25 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady, Traditionally Identified As Elizabeth Farren, Later Countess Of Derby, Circa 1790 von George Engleheart wurde im Dezember 2019 in der Auktion The Pohl-Ströher Collection of Portrait Miniatures, Part III bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.432,06) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 25%. 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).
