Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work And being weary she sat down under a chestnut tree to rest by Jessie Marion King was auctioned at Bonhams in Edinburgh in October last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 3,825.00 (€ 4,456.08). Admittedly, works by Jessie Marion King have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work 'No Goblin or Swart Faëry Hath Hurtfull Power' - illustration to John Milton's 'Comus' in December last year with an auction result of GBP 17,640.00 (€ 19,913.84).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit And being weary she sat down under a chestnut tree to rest von Jessie Marion King im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in Edinburgh versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.825,00 (€ 4.456,08) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jessie Marion King auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit 'No Goblin or Swart Faëry Hath Hurtfull Power' - illustration to John Milton's 'Comus' im Dezember letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 17.640,00 (€ 19.913,84).
