Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Gilbert Stuart achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May 2015. In the American Art auction, the work George Washington sold for USD 389,000.00 (€ 353,829.36) - well above the upper estimate of USD 180,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gilbert Stuart achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work George Washington (Vaughan type) in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 11,562,500.00 (€ 9,907,883.46).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Gilbert Stuart erzielte im Mai 2015 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion American Art wurde die Arbeit George Washington für USD 389.000,00 (€ 353.829,36) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 180.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gilbert Stuart erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit George Washington (Vaughan type) im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 11.562.500,00 (€ 9.907.883,46).
