Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by George Stubbs could be acquired at Christies in London in December 2013 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale auction, the work James Hamilton, 2Nd Earl Of Clanbrassil (1730-1798), With His Bay Hunter Mowbray, Resting On A Wooded Path By A Lake changed hands for GBP 1,426,500.00 (€ 1,715,858.26) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,500,000.00 – 2,500,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Stubbs achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gimcrack on Newmarket Heath, with a trainer, a jockey and a stable lad in July 2011 with an auction result of GBP 22,441,250.00 (€ 25,754,691.64).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Stubbs konnte im Dezember 2013 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale wechselte die Arbeit James Hamilton, 2Nd Earl Of Clanbrassil (1730-1798), With His Bay Hunter Mowbray, Resting On A Wooded Path By A Lake für GBP 1.426.500,00 (€ 1.715.858,26) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500.000,00 – 2.500.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Stubbs erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Gimcrack on Newmarket Heath, with a trainer, a jockey and a stable lad im Juli 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 22.441.250,00 (€ 25.754.691,64).
