Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2003 Christies in London held the auction Important Gold Boxes,Objects of Vertu & Portrait Miniatures, which included the work A gentleman, seated half length with his left hand raised to his neck, in black doublet slashed to reveal white, frilled white collar, long sideburns by Henry Collen. The price achieved of GBP 597.50 (€ 846.28) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500.00 – 700.00. Admittedly, works by Henry Collen have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Lady Elizabeth Vernon Harcourt, facing right in yellow and blue dress, black stole, ruby-set pendant at corsage, her curling long brown hair falling over her shoulders in November 2000 with an auction result of GBP 4,935.00 (€ 8,066.06).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion Important Gold Boxes,Objects of Vertu & Portrait Miniatures durch, in der auch die Arbeit A gentleman, seated half length with his left hand raised to his neck, in black doublet slashed to reveal white, frilled white collar, long sideburns von Henry Collen zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 597,50 (€ 846,28) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Henry Collen auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Lady Elizabeth Vernon Harcourt, facing right in yellow and blue dress, black stole, ruby-set pendant at corsage, her curling long brown hair falling over her shoulders im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.935,00 (€ 8.066,06).
