Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of James Colyear Dawkins (1760-1840) of Standlynch Park, Wiltshire, leaning on a sarcophagus during his Grand Tour in the 1780s, possibly at the Villa Albani, Rome by Hugh Douglas Hamilton was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2011. The price achieved of GBP 37,250.00 (€ 42,749.95) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of James Colyear Dawkins (1760-1840) of Standlynch Park, Wiltshire, leaning on a sarcophagus during his Grand Tour in the 1780s, possibly at the Villa Albani, Rome von Hugh Douglas Hamilton kam im Juli 2011 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 37.250,00 (€ 42.749,95) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
