Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait Of Mrs. John Langston, Half-Length, Seated, Wearing A White Dress And Blue Sash And A White Bonnet With Pink And Blue Striped Ribbon by John Downman was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours auction at Christies in London in December 2015. The price achieved of GBP 812.00 (€ 1,102.66) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00. 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
Die Arbeit Portrait Of Mrs. John Langston, Half-Length, Seated, Wearing A White Dress And Blue Sash And A White Bonnet With Pink And Blue Striped Ribbon von John Downman wurde im Dezember 2015 in der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 812,00 (€ 1.102,66) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00 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).
