Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2011 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait of a young girl, half-length, in a blue dress trimmed with lace and silk headdress by Hugh Douglas Hamilton for GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,395.28). This price was achieved in the auction Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hugh Douglas Hamilton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Double Portrait of Mary, Countess of Erne, with her daughter Lady Caroline Crichton, later Lady Wharncliffe, full-length, seated, the former in a brown dress with a yellow sash, wearing a large straw hat, with a mandolin beside her, the latter showin in May 2004 with an auction result of GBP 542,850.00 (€ 81
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember 2011 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait of a young girl, half-length, in a blue dress trimmed with lace and silk headdress von Hugh Douglas Hamilton für GBP 2.000,00 (€ 2.395,28) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hugh Douglas Hamilton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Double Portrait of Mary, Countess of Erne, with her daughter Lady Caroline Crichton, later Lady Wharncliffe, full-length, seated, the former in a brown dress with a yellow sash, wearing a large straw hat, with a mandolin beside her, the latter showin im Mai 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 542.850,00 (€ 814.474,95).
