Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2012 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait of a young man, three-quarter length, reading on a terrace by George Richmond for GBP 687.50 (€ 847.88). This price was achieved in the auction Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Richmond achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Sir Moses Montefiore (1784-1885), three-quarter-length, seated at a desk, in a black suit and cap in May 2005 with an auction result of GBP 96,000.00 (€ 141,726.13).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember 2012 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait of a young man, three-quarter length, reading on a terrace von George Richmond für GBP 687,50 (€ 847,88) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Richmond erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Sir Moses Montefiore (1784-1885), three-quarter-length, seated at a desk, in a black suit and cap im Mai 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 96.000,00 (€ 141.726,13).
