This artwork by Jessie Marion King achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Edinburgh in October last year. In the Scottish Art auction, the work The Finding of the Godling sold for GBP 7,012.50 (€ 8,169.48) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jessie Marion King - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'No Goblin or Swart Faëry Hath Hurtfull Power' - illustration to John Milton's 'Comus', which sold at auction in December last year for GBP 17,640.00 (€ 19,913.84).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jessie Marion King erzielte im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in Edinburgh einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Scottish Art wurde die Arbeit The Finding of the Godling für GBP 7.012,50 (€ 8.169,48) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Jessie Marion King mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 'No Goblin or Swart Faëry Hath Hurtfull Power' - illustration to John Milton's 'Comus' beobachtet, die im Dezember letzten Jahres für GBP 17.640,00 (€ 19.913,84) versteigert wurde.
