Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2015 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours, which included the work Portrait Of A Young Lady, Half-Length, Wearing A White Empire-Line Dress, Drapery Behind by John Downman. The price achieved of GBP 1,625.00 (€ 2,206.67) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2015 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of A Young Lady, Half-Length, Wearing A White Empire-Line Dress, Drapery Behind von John Downman zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.625,00 (€ 2.206,67) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00 angegeben worden. 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).
