Upper estimate price exceeded by 72 %.
In June 2020 Christies in London held the auction Face Time: People in Art through the Ages, which included the work Portrait of Norah Lindsay (1873-1948), three-quarter-length, in a white dress and green sash by George Frederick Watts. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 13,750.00 (€ 15,143.24), 72% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Frederick Watts achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Hope in June 2001 with an auction result of GBP 773,750.00 (€ 1,285,352.70).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 72 % übertroffen
Im Juni 2020 führte Christies in London die Auktion Face Time: People in Art through the Ages durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Norah Lindsay (1873-1948), three-quarter-length, in a white dress and green sash von George Frederick Watts zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 13.750,00 (€ 15.143,24) und damit 72% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Frederick Watts erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Hope im Juni 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 773.750,00 (€ 1.285.352,70).
