A top price for John Closterman - as previously expected
In June 2008 Sothebys in London held the auction Important British Paintings, which included the work Portrait Of Isabella Willis (D. 1727) by John Closterman. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 15,000.00 – 25,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 17,500.00 (€ 22,120.59) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Portrait Of Isabella Willis (D. 1727) is the most expensive artwork by John Closterman that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juni 2008 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Important British Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of Isabella Willis (D. 1727) von John Closterman zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 17.500,00 (€ 22.120,59) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Portrait Of Isabella Willis (D. 1727) das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Closterman, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
