Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Gervase Spencer could be acquired at Christies in London in November 2013 for an unexpectedly low price. In the A Life's Devotion: The Collection of the Late Mrs T.S. Eliot auction, the work A Young Lady, In Lilac Dress With Slashed Sleeves And Lace Collar, Wearing Pearls And Lace Cap Over Her Upswept Fair Hair changed hands for GBP 1,750.00 (€ 2,105.89) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gervase Spencer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of A Young Boy, Circa 1750, which sold at auction in May 2020 for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,632.01).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Gervase Spencer konnte im November 2013 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion A Life's Devotion: The Collection of the Late Mrs T.S. Eliot wechselte die Arbeit A Young Lady, In Lilac Dress With Slashed Sleeves And Lace Collar, Wearing Pearls And Lace Cap Over Her Upswept Fair Hair für GBP 1.750,00 (€ 2.105,89) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Gervase Spencer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Of A Young Boy, Circa 1750 beobachtet, die im Mai 2020 für GBP 6.875,00 (€ 7.632,01) versteigert wurde.
