Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
When the work An Illustrated Letter By Henry Treffry Dunn With A Portrait Sketch Of Alexa Wilding (C. 1845 - 1884) by Henry Treffry Dunn was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at GBP 9,375.00 (€ 12,730.80). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Henry Treffry Dunn; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Girl With A Psaltery sold at auction in July 2007 with the realized price of GBP 9,000.00 (€ 13,367.08).
Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit An Illustrated Letter By Henry Treffry Dunn With A Portrait Sketch Of Alexa Wilding (C. 1845 - 1884) von Henry Treffry Dunn im Dezember 2015 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 9.375,00 (€ 12.730,80) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Henry Treffry Dunn; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Girl With A Psaltery im Juli 2007 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 9.000,00 (€ 13.367,08).
