Description
HENRY JOHN STOCK (1853-1930) 'And I saw an angel standing in the sun' (Rev. 19-17) signed and dated '1910/ H.J. STOCK' (lower right) and inscribed 'And I saw an angel standing in the sun./ The angel is calling upon the birds/ to come and eat the flesh of kings and captains/ and mighty men/ Rev 19 - 17' (on an old label attached to the backing) pencil and watercolour heightened with bodycolour on board 13 1 ⁄ 8 x 9 1 ⁄ 8 in. (33.3 x 23.2 cm.)
Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work 'And I saw an angel standing in the sun' (Rev. 19-17) by Henry John Stock was worth GBP 6,300.00 (€ 7,523.32) to a buyer in July last year. This price was achieved in the auction The Isabel Goldsmith Collection: Selected Pre-Raphaelite and Symbolist Art at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry John Stock achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Uplifting of Psyche 'By the help of a divinity not our own' - Virgil in June 2015 with an auction result of GBP 56,250.00 (€ 79,311.79).

Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion The Isabel Goldsmith Collection: Selected Pre-Raphaelite and Symbolist Art bei Christies in London erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry John Stock erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Uplifting of Psyche 'By the help of a divinity not our own' - Virgil im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 56.250,00 (€ 79.311,79).
