This artwork by John Charlton achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2005. In the British and Victorian Pictures auction, the work Portrait of An Officer of Her Majesty'S Body Guard of The Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-At-Arms, Full-Length, In Dress Uniform sold for GBP 3,360.00 (€ 4,893.49) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Charlton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'God save the Queen': Queen Victoria arriving at St Paul's Cathedral on the Occasion of the Diamond Jubilee Thanksgiving Service, 22 June 1897 in July 2013 with an auction result of GBP 55,875.00 (€ 63,846.93).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Charlton erzielte im März 2005 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British and Victorian Pictures wurde die Arbeit Portrait of An Officer of Her Majesty'S Body Guard of The Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-At-Arms, Full-Length, In Dress Uniform für GBP 3.360,00 (€ 4.893,49) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Charlton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'God save the Queen': Queen Victoria arriving at St Paul's Cathedral on the Occasion of the Diamond Jubilee Thanksgiving Service, 22 June 1897 im Juli 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 55.875,00 (€ 63.846,93).
