Description
GEORGE LAMBERT (KENT 1700-1765 LONDON) An Italianate Landscape with Maneus Curius Dentatus with acolytes rejecting the gifts of the Samnites and preferring Turnips signed and dated 'G. Lambert / 1752.' (lower right) oil on canvas 28 1 ⁄ 2 x 49 in. (72.5 x 124.4 cm.)
Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work An Italianate Landscape with Maneus Curius Dentatus with acolytes rejecting the gifts of the Samnites and preferring Turnips by George Lambert was auctioned at Christies in London in July last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 5,292.00 (€ 6,319.59). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Lambert achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A View Of Fonthill, Wiltshire, With Haymakers In The Foreground in June 2001 with an auction result of GBP 71,950.00 (€ 119,523.27).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit An Italianate Landscape with Maneus Curius Dentatus with acolytes rejecting the gifts of the Samnites and preferring Turnips von George Lambert im Juli letzten Jahres bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 5.292,00 (€ 6.319,59) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Lambert erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A View Of Fonthill, Wiltshire, With Haymakers In The Foreground im Juni 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 71.950,00 (€ 119.523,27).
