Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2004 Christies in London held the auction At Home - Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu and Silver, which included the work A lady, in profile to left, in frilled dress, her hair upswept in ringlets by John Miers. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 200.00 – 300.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 215.10 (€ 321.99) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 März 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion At Home - Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu and Silver durch, in der auch die Arbeit A lady, in profile to left, in frilled dress, her hair upswept in ringlets von John Miers zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200,00 – 300,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 215,10 (€ 321,99) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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.
