This artwork by Henry Spicer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2002. In the OBJECTS OF VERTU AND PORTRAIT MINIATURES & FOB SEALS auction, the work A gentleman, facing right in a bright blue coat, cream-coloured waistcoat, frilled cravat, powdered hair en queue sold for GBP 1,410.00 (€ 2,208.08) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 750.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Spicer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ozias Humphry, R.A. (1742-1810), in profile to the left in claret coloured velvet cloak, white stock, clasping a book close to his chest in his right hand in November 2000 with an auction result of GBP 17,625.00 (€ 28,807.37).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Henry Spicer erzielte im Mai 2002 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion OBJECTS OF VERTU AND PORTRAIT MINIATURES & FOB SEALS wurde die Arbeit A gentleman, facing right in a bright blue coat, cream-coloured waistcoat, frilled cravat, powdered hair en queue für GBP 1.410,00 (€ 2.208,08) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 750,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Spicer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ozias Humphry, R.A. (1742-1810), in profile to the left in claret coloured velvet cloak, white stock, clasping a book close to his chest in his right hand im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 17.625,00 (€ 28.807,37).
