This artwork by Henry Pickering achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in February 2008. In the The Sunday Sale - Property of the Smith-Barry Estates, removed from The Old Priory, Gloucestershire and Property of St. Mary's University College, removed from Strawberry Hill, Twickenham auction, the work Portrait of a young girl, half-length, in a gold dress with a blue wrap, holding a basket of flowers sold for GBP 6,000.00 (€ 7,847.76) - well above the upper estimate of 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Henry Pickering erzielte im Februar 2008 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Sunday Sale - Property of the Smith-Barry Estates, removed from The Old Priory, Gloucestershire and Property of St. Mary's University College, removed from Strawberry Hill, Twickenham wurde die Arbeit Portrait of a young girl, half-length, in a gold dress with a blue wrap, holding a basket of flowers für GBP 6.000,00 (€ 7.847,76) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00. 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).
