Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

When the work Perceval Goeth Toward the Deep Forest 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 1,800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 9,562.50 (€ 11,140.21). 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 Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Perceval Goeth Toward the Deep Forest 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 1.800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 9.562,50 (€ 11.140,21) mehr als fünfmal 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).
