Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of Miss Elizabeth Blunt, Later Lady Burrell Blount (D. 1839), 1800 by George Engleheart was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 15,000.00 (€ 16,711.33). Admittedly, works by George Engleheart have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Miss Elizabeth Blunt, Later Lady Burrell Blount (D. 1839), 1800 von George Engleheart im Dezember 2018 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 15.000,00 (€ 16.711,33) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von George Engleheart auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
