Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2002 Christies in London held the auction Objects of Vertu and Portrait Miniatures, which included the work A young gentleman, facing right in green coat and yellow waistcoat, lace cravat, powdered hair by Gustavus Hamilton. The price achieved of GBP 352.50 (€ 557.59) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 400.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gustavus Hamilton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mr and Mrs John Kirwan; he, facing right in gold-bordered blue coat and waistcoat, frilled lace cravat, powdered bag wig; and she, facing left in purple dress with lace-bordered fichu, fur stole, pearl necklace, gauze veil falling from her dark upswe in April 2002 with an auction result of GBP 4,465.00 (€ 7,224.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion Objects of Vertu and Portrait Miniatures durch, in der auch die Arbeit A young gentleman, facing right in green coat and yellow waistcoat, lace cravat, powdered hair von Gustavus Hamilton zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 352,50 (€ 557,59) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300,00 – 400,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gustavus Hamilton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mr and Mrs John Kirwan; he, facing right in gold-bordered blue coat and waistcoat, frilled lace cravat, powdered bag wig; and she, facing left in purple dress with lace-bordered fichu, fur stole, pearl necklace, gauze veil falling from her dark upswe im April 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.465,00 (€ 7.224,25).
