In November 2002 Christies in London held the auction BRITISH PICTURES 1500-1850, which included the work Portrait of Susannah Holt (1710-1765), wife of John Chadwick of Healey, bust-length, in a white dress with a pale blue wrap, feigned oval by Henry Pickering. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 8,962.50 (€ 14,034.81), 49% above the upper 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 49 % übertroffen
Im November 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion BRITISH PICTURES 1500-1850 durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Susannah Holt (1710-1765), wife of John Chadwick of Healey, bust-length, in a white dress with a pale blue wrap, feigned oval von Henry Pickering zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 8.962,50 (€ 14.034,81) und damit 49% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
