Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Twelve portraits from The Heads of Illustrious Persons of Great Britain by Jacobus Houbracken was sold in the British and Continental Pictures auction at Christies in London in October 2005. The result of GBP 300.00 (€ 442.41) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jacobus Houbracken achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Large Group Of Portraits in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,531.57).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Twelve portraits from The Heads of Illustrious Persons of Great Britain von Jacobus Houbracken wurde im Oktober 2005 in der Auktion British and Continental Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 300,00 (€ 442,41) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jacobus Houbracken erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Large Group Of Portraits im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.531,57).
