Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Portrait Of A Lady, Half-Length, Facing Left, Wearing A Ruffled White Dress And Mob Cap by John Downman was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours auction at Christies in London in December 2015. The result of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,357.95) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Downman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Henry Frederick Bouverie And His Sister in January 2007 with an auction result of USD 96,000.00 (€ 73,857.52).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady, Half-Length, Facing Left, Wearing A Ruffled White Dress And Mob Cap von John Downman wurde im Dezember 2015 in der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.357,95) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Downman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Henry Frederick Bouverie And His Sister im Januar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 96.000,00 (€ 73.857,52).
