Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of a lady, seated half-length, in a blue dress and a black lace-trimmed wrap, holding a pair of glasses, reading in an interior by Henry Pickering was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2003. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 700.00 – 900.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 705.00 (€ 710.13) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Pickering achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Sir Wolstan Dixie, 4Th Bt. (1701-1767), Of Bosworth Hall, Leicestershire, And His Family, Seated Around A Harpsichord in December 2010 with an auction result of GBP 223,250.00 (€ 258,969.33).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of a lady, seated half-length, in a blue dress and a black lace-trimmed wrap, holding a pair of glasses, reading in an interior von Henry Pickering kam im September 2003 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 700,00 – 900,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 705,00 (€ 710,13) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Pickering erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Sir Wolstan Dixie, 4Th Bt. (1701-1767), Of Bosworth Hall, Leicestershire, And His Family, Seated Around A Harpsichord im Dezember 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 223.250,00 (€ 258.969,33).
