Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Henry Beale Esq., On A Hunter, With His Greyhounds, Including Sampler And Sapphire, In An Extensive Landscape by George Henry Laporte was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2006. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,160.00 (€ 3,125.48) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Henry Laporte achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work British Noblemen Before Constantinople in April 2014 with an auction result of GBP 56,250.00 (€ 68,469.27).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of Henry Beale Esq., On A Hunter, With His Greyhounds, Including Sampler And Sapphire, In An Extensive Landscape von George Henry Laporte kam im Juni 2006 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.160,00 (€ 3.125,48) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Henry Laporte erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit British Noblemen Before Constantinople im April 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 56.250,00 (€ 68.469,27).
