Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
When the work And there I found the dawn a wreath of eglantine among her tresses her violet eyes new born 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 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at GBP 14,025.00 (€ 16,338.97). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Jessie Marion King; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot 'No Goblin or Swart Faëry Hath Hurtfull Power' - illustration to John Milton's 'Comus' sold at auction in December last year with the realized price of GBP 17,640.00 (€ 19,913.84).
Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit And there I found the dawn a wreath of eglantine among her tresses her violet eyes new born 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 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 14.025,00 (€ 16.338,97) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Jessie Marion King; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit 'No Goblin or Swart Faëry Hath Hurtfull Power' - illustration to John Milton's 'Comus' im Dezember letzten Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 17.640,00 (€ 19.913,84).
