A top price for Jessie Marion King - as previously expected
In December last year Christies in London held the auction British and European Art: Online, which included the work 'No Goblin or Swart Faëry Hath Hurtfull Power' - illustration to John Milton's 'Comus' by Jessie Marion King. The price achieved of GBP 17,640.00 (€ 19,913.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, 'No Goblin or Swart Faëry Hath Hurtfull Power' - illustration to John Milton's 'Comus' is the most expensive artwork by Jessie Marion King that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Dezember letzten Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion British and European Art: Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'No Goblin or Swart Faëry Hath Hurtfull Power' - illustration to John Milton's 'Comus' von Jessie Marion King zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 17.640,00 (€ 19.913,84) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist 'No Goblin or Swart Faëry Hath Hurtfull Power' - illustration to John Milton's 'Comus' das teuerste Kunstwerk von Jessie Marion King, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
