Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of William, 1st Earl of Lonsdale, K.G., (1757-1844), seated three-quater-length in a green armchair by Jacob Thompson was auctioned at Christies in London in February 2009, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,818.67). Admittedly, works by Jacob Thompson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Course Of True Love Never Did Run Smooth in November 2008 with an auction result of GBP 16,250.00 (€ 19,647.47).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of William, 1st Earl of Lonsdale, K.G., (1757-1844), seated three-quater-length in a green armchair von Jacob Thompson im Februar 2009 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.818,67) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jacob Thompson auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Course Of True Love Never Did Run Smooth im November 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 16.250,00 (€ 19.647,47).
