Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by James Sharples could be acquired at Christies in London in March 2011 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Sunday Sale auction, the work Portrait of a gentleman, three-quarter-length; together with Portrait of a lady, seated three-quarter-length, with a red shawl changed hands for GBP 325.00 (€ 367.74) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 500.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Sharples achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work George Washington in January 2021 with an auction result of USD 325,000.00 (€ 267,820.35).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von James Sharples konnte im März 2011 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Sunday Sale wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of a gentleman, three-quarter-length; together with Portrait of a lady, seated three-quarter-length, with a red shawl für GBP 325,00 (€ 367,74) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 500,00 – 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Sharples erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit George Washington im Januar 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 325.000,00 (€ 267.820,35).
