Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2019 Sothebys in London held the auction Property from the Estate of Sir John and Lady Smith, which included the work Portrait Of A Child, Traditionally Identified As Guy Oswald Smith (1861-1928) by Guido Schmitt. The price achieved of GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,372.42) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Guido Schmitt - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Queen Victoria im Ornat, which sold at auction in November 2015 for EUR 3,870.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2019 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Property from the Estate of Sir John and Lady Smith durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of A Child, Traditionally Identified As Guy Oswald Smith (1861-1928) von Guido Schmitt zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.372,42) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Guido Schmitt mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Queen Victoria im Ornat beobachtet, die im November 2015 für EUR 3.870,00 versteigert wurde.
