Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Hugh Douglas Hamilton achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in April 2011. In the Old Master & Early British Paintings auction, the work Portrait Of Charlotte, Duchess Of Albany, Daughter Of Prince Charles Eward Stuart (1755-1789) sold for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 15,484.87) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 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
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Hugh Douglas Hamilton erzielte im April 2011 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master & Early British Paintings wurde die Arbeit Portrait Of Charlotte, Duchess Of Albany, Daughter Of Prince Charles Eward Stuart (1755-1789) für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 15.484,87) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 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).
