This artwork by George Perfect Harding achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2001. In the BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS auction, the work A portrait of the Earl of Penbroke sold for GBP 1,528 (€ 2,561) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Perfect Harding - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work James I (1566-1625), King Of Scotland As James Vi 1567-1625, And King Of England 1603-1625, In Gold-Embroidered Doublet With Ermine Sleeves, High Lace Ruff, Wearing The Collar Of The Order Of The Garter And A Great George, Black Hat With Jewelled Hat Badg, which sold at auction in November 2013 for GBP 5,000 (€ 6
Oberer Schätzpreis um 91 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Perfect Harding erzielte im Mai 2001 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS wurde die Arbeit A portrait of the Earl of Penbroke für GBP 1.527,50 (€ 2.560,89) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. Für andere Arbeiten von George Perfect Harding mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit James I (1566-1625), King Of Scotland As James Vi 1567-1625, And King Of England 1603-1625, In Gold-Embroidered Doublet With Ermine Sleeves, High Lace Ruff, Wearing The Collar Of The Order Of The Garter And A Great George, Black Hat With Jewelled Hat Badg beobachtet, die im November 2013 für GBP 5.000,00 (€ 6.016,83) versteigert wurde.
