Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Freifrau von Hanstein, widowed Skotay ?, née Damböck, in off-the-shoulder white dress with tiered lace collar, pink rose at corsage, turquoise shawl, black choker set with brooch, gem-set earrings, dark upswept hair by Richard Schwager was sold in the Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes auction at Christies in London in December 2008. The price achieved of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,050.29) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Schwager achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Pair of Miniatures Depicting Marie Baroness von Fürstenberg Zu Stammheim (B. 1864) In Off-The-Shoulder White Dress With Lace-Trimmed Bodice And Sleeves, Coral Necklace, Holding A Long Coral Necklace In Her Right Hand And Her Left Arm Leaning On A in November 2006 with an auction

Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Schwager erzielen.
