Description

George Vertue (1684-1756)
[Royal Portraits]: Four Plates
four engravings, circa 1748, on wove paper, all with margins
the first P. 19¼ x 22½ in. (489 x 572 mm.) (4)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 77 %.

This artwork by George Vertue achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in February 2009. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Royal Portraits: Four Plates sold for USD 2,125.00 (€ 1,678.25) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,200.00. Admittedly, works by George Vertue have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait of Edmund, Duke of Buckingham (1715-1735), full-length, in state dress with ducal coronet, in an interior in June 2004 with an auction result of GBP 7,170.00 (€ 10,671.11).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 77 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von George Vertue erzielte im Februar 2009 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wurde die Arbeit Royal Portraits: Four Plates für USD 2.125,00 (€ 1.678,25) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 1.200,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von George Vertue auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait of Edmund, Duke of Buckingham (1715-1735), full-length, in state dress with ducal coronet, in an interior im Juni 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.170,00 (€ 10.671,11).
