In September 2003 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian Pictures, which included the work Portrait of a lady, bust-length, in a blue dress, feigned oval by James Fellowes. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,880.00 (€ 1,893.67), 25% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Fellowes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Margaret Aldersey, three-quarter-length, in a yellow dress and blue wrap, a sqirrel by her side, which sold at auction in September 2003 for GBP 4,112.50 (€ 4,142.41).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im September 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of a lady, bust-length, in a blue dress, feigned oval von James Fellowes zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.880,00 (€ 1.893,67) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von James Fellowes mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Margaret Aldersey, three-quarter-length, in a yellow dress and blue wrap, a sqirrel by her side beobachtet, die im September 2003 für GBP 4.112,50 (€ 4.142,41) versteigert wurde.
