This artwork by Gervase Spencer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2000. In the Miniatures auction, the work The Sculptor Duquesnoy, facing left in black gown and large white ruffled collar, pointed beard and moustache sold for GBP 1,880.00 (€ 3,016.71) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Gervase Spencer erzielte im Mai 2000 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Miniatures wurde die Arbeit The Sculptor Duquesnoy, facing left in black gown and large white ruffled collar, pointed beard and moustache für GBP 1.880,00 (€ 3.016,71) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. 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.
