Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Portrait of William Evelyn (circa 1768-1789) of St Clere, Kent, half-length, holding a spaniel by Hugh Douglas Hamilton was sold in the Andrew Wyld: Connoisseur Dealer auction at Christies in London in July 2012. The result of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,821.19) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. 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
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Portrait of William Evelyn (circa 1768-1789) of St Clere, Kent, half-length, holding a spaniel von Hugh Douglas Hamilton wurde im Juli 2012 in der Auktion Andrew Wyld: Connoisseur Dealer bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.821,19) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der 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).
