John Hamilton Mortimer, A.R.A. (Eastbourne 1740-1779 London)
Sextus Pompeius consulting Erichtho before the Battle of Pharsalia
oil on canvas
23 x 18¼ in. (58.4 x 46.4 cm.)

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Sextus Pompeius consulting Erichtho before the Battle of Pharsalia by John Hamilton Mortimer was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2012. It achieved a price of USD 30,000.00 (€ 22,983.22), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Hamilton Mortimer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Banditti fishing, which sold at auction in January 2012 for USD 116,500.00 (€ 89,251.51).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Sextus Pompeius consulting Erichtho before the Battle of Pharsalia von John Hamilton Mortimer kam im Januar 2012 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 30.000,00 (€ 22.983,22) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 20%. Für andere Arbeiten von John Hamilton Mortimer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Banditti fishing beobachtet, die im Januar 2012 für USD 116.500,00 (€ 89.251,51) versteigert wurde.
