Auction result misses estimated price range
In September 2013 a collector was able to acquire the work Gil Blas binding Dame Leonarda with cords in the cavern of the banditti by John Opie for GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,976.73). This price was achieved in the auction The Collection of Professor Sir Albert Richardson, P.R.A. at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Opie - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of Sir James Earle, Half-Length, Seated, In A Brown Coat And Striped Waistcoat; And Portrait Of Mary, Lady Earle, Half-Length, Seated At A Piano, In A White Dress And A Grey Coat, which sold at auction in June 2001 for GBP 10,340.00 (€ 17,176.80).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im September 2013 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Gil Blas binding Dame Leonarda with cords in the cavern of the banditti von John Opie für GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.976,73) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Collection of Professor Sir Albert Richardson, P.R.A. bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von John Opie mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Of Sir James Earle, Half-Length, Seated, In A Brown Coat And Striped Waistcoat; And Portrait Of Mary, Lady Earle, Half-Length, Seated At A Piano, In A White Dress And A Grey Coat beobachtet, die im Juni 2001 für GBP 10.340,00 (€ 17.176,80) versteigert wurde.
