Auction result well in line with expectations
In August 2007 Christies in London held the auction British, Continental & Russian Pictures, which included the work Portrait of Sarah Briana Amshewitz, the artist's wife, standing half-length, in a black dress with a white shawl and a pearl necklace by John Henry Amshewitz. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 720.00 (€ 1,064.35) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Henry Amshewitz achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Death'S Arrest in November 2017 with an auction result of USD 37,500.00 (€ 31,517.90).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im August 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion British, Continental & Russian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Sarah Briana Amshewitz, the artist's wife, standing half-length, in a black dress with a white shawl and a pearl necklace von John Henry Amshewitz zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 720,00 (€ 1.064,35) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Henry Amshewitz erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Death'S Arrest im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 37.500,00 (€ 31.517,90).
