Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by John David Revel could be acquired at Christies in London in March 2002 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British, Victorian and Scottish Pictures including Pictures auction, the work Portrait of a gentleman, seated three-quarter-length, in a dark grey suit, smoking a cigarette, with a skull on a table before him changed hands for GBP 470.00 (€ 768.33) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Admittedly, works by John David Revel have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work At the casino in March 2002 with an auction result of GBP 2,937.50 (€ 4,802.04).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
