Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work A Young Gentleman, In Blue Velvet Coat, Gold-Bordered Cream Waistcoat And Lace Cravat, Powdered Wig En Queue by Henry Spicer was sold in the Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes auction at Christies in London in June 2007. It achieved a price of GBP 960.00 (€ 1,424.59), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. 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 leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit A Young Gentleman, In Blue Velvet Coat, Gold-Bordered Cream Waistcoat And Lace Cravat, Powdered Wig En Queue von Henry Spicer wurde im Juni 2007 in der Auktion Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 960,00 (€ 1.424,59) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 20%. 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).
