Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In June 2012 Christies in New York held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Portrait of William Robert Fitzgerald, 2nd Duke of Leinster (1748-1804); and Portrait the Duchess of Leinster, née Emily Olivia Usher St George (1759-1798) by Hugh Douglas Hamilton. The »bidding war« ended at USD 6,000.00 (€ 4,736.34), 20% above the upper estimate. 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
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juni 2012 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of William Robert Fitzgerald, 2nd Duke of Leinster (1748-1804); and Portrait the Duchess of Leinster, née Emily Olivia Usher St George (1759-1798) von Hugh Douglas Hamilton zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 6.000,00 (€ 4.736,34) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
