Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Group Portrait Of Three Children, Three-Quarter-Length, In A Wooded Landscape, The Eldest Holding A Peach by George Knapton was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2002, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 21,510.00 (€ 33,271.10). Admittedly, works by George Knapton have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait Of Lady Elizabeth Howard (1701-1739), Eldest Daughter Of Charles Howard, 3Rd Earl Of Carlisle, In Turkish Costume in July 2012 with an auction result of GBP 109,250.00 (€ 139,155.14).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Group Portrait Of Three Children, Three-Quarter-Length, In A Wooded Landscape, The Eldest Holding A Peach von George Knapton im Juni 2002 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 21.510,00 (€ 33.271,10) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von George Knapton auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait Of Lady Elizabeth Howard (1701-1739), Eldest Daughter Of Charles Howard, 3Rd Earl Of Carlisle, In Turkish Costume im Juli 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 109.250,00 (€ 139.155,14).
