Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2009 Christies in London held the auction Centuries of Style: Silver, European Ceramics, Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes, which included the work John Gawler (1727-1803), in red jacket and waistcoat with gold buttons, fine linen shirt, knotted cravat, holding a quill in his right hand and resting his arm on a book positioned upon a table by Henry Bone. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,640.30) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Bone achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work [Admiral Viscount Nelson (1758-1805), facing left in rear-admiral's undress, blue coat with gold buttons and gold epaulettes, white trousers and waistcoat, frilled cravat and black stock, wearing the breast star of red sash of the Order of t
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2009 führte Christies in London die Auktion Centuries of Style: Silver, European Ceramics, Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes durch, in der auch die Arbeit John Gawler (1727-1803), in red jacket and waistcoat with gold buttons, fine linen shirt, knotted cravat, holding a quill in his right hand and resting his arm on a book positioned upon a table von Henry Bone zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.250,00 (€ 2.640,30) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Bone erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit [Admiral Viscount Nelson (1758-1805), facing left in rear-admiral's undress, blue coat with gold buttons and gold epaulettes, white trousers and waistcoat, frilled cravat
