Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Mary Gell (c. 1727-1791), half-length, in van Dyck costume, in a feigned oval by George Knapton was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2015. It changed hands for a price of GBP 7,500.00 (€ 10,490.63) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Knapton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of Mary Gell (c. 1727-1791), half-length, in van Dyck costume, in a feigned oval von George Knapton kam im Oktober 2015 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 7.500,00 (€ 10.490,63) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Knapton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte 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).
