Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2013 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale, which included the work Portrait Of Guilford Killigrew, When A Boy by John Closterman. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,773.11) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Closterman - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of Isabella Willis (D. 1727), which sold at auction in June 2008 for GBP 17,500.00 (€ 22,120.59).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2013 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of Guilford Killigrew, When A Boy von John Closterman zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.773,11) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von John Closterman mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Of Isabella Willis (D. 1727) beobachtet, die im Juni 2008 für GBP 17.500,00 (€ 22.120,59) versteigert wurde.
