Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2001 Christies in London held the auction Objects of Vertu, Miniatures and Icons, which included the work A gentleman, in profile to right, in coat and frilled cravat, powdered hair en queue by John Miers. The price achieved of GBP 235.00 (€ 393.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200.00 – 300.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Miers - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Two Regency Portrait Silhouettes, which sold at auction in December 2003 for AUD 1,997.50 (€ 1,192.44).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion Objects of Vertu, Miniatures and Icons durch, in der auch die Arbeit A gentleman, in profile to right, in coat and frilled cravat, powdered hair en queue von John Miers zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 235,00 (€ 393,98) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 200,00 – 300,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von John Miers mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Two Regency Portrait Silhouettes beobachtet, die im Dezember 2003 für AUD 1.997,50 (€ 1.192,44) versteigert wurde.
