Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction Master Paintings & Sculpture Day Sale, which included the work Portrait Of George Pigot, 1St Baron Pigot (1719 - 1777), Governor Of Madras by George Knapton. The price achieved of USD 56,250.00 (€ 50,707.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Knapton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of Lady Elizabeth Howard (1701-1739), Eldest Daughter Of Charles Howard, 3Rd Earl Of Carlisle, In Turkish Costume, which sold at auction in July 2012 for GBP 109,250.00 (€ 139,155.14).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Master Paintings & Sculpture Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of George Pigot, 1St Baron Pigot (1719 - 1777), Governor Of Madras von George Knapton zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 56.250,00 (€ 50.707,65) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von George Knapton mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Of Lady Elizabeth Howard (1701-1739), Eldest Daughter Of Charles Howard, 3Rd Earl Of Carlisle, In Turkish Costume beobachtet, die im Juli 2012 für GBP 109.250,00 (€ 139.155,14) versteigert wurde.
