Auction result misses estimated price range
In February 2013 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait Of A Man, Said To Be The Poet Thomas Moore by John Opie for USD 8,125.00 (€ 6,212.25). This price was achieved in the auction Old Master and 19th Century European Paintings and Drawings, including Property from the Estate of Giancarlo Baroni at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 12,000.00 – 14,000.00 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 Februar 2013 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait Of A Man, Said To Be The Poet Thomas Moore von John Opie für USD 8.125,00 (€ 6.212,25) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Master and 19th Century European Paintings and Drawings, including Property from the Estate of Giancarlo Baroni bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 12.000,00 – 14.000,00. 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.
