Auction result misses estimated price range
In May 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait traditionally identified as Hester Thrale (1741-1821), bust length, in profile by James Sharples for GBP 312.50 (€ 397.51). This price was achieved in the auction The Arthur Ackermann and Peter Johnson Collection: A Connoisseur's Choice at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00 set by the auction house. 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
Im Mai 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait traditionally identified as Hester Thrale (1741-1821), bust length, in profile von James Sharples für GBP 312,50 (€ 397,51) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Arthur Ackermann and Peter Johnson Collection: A Connoisseur's Choice bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00. 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).
