Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by John Opie could be acquired at Christies in New York in August 2012 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Portrait of the Right Honourable Charles James Fox, three-quarter-length, standing beside a table changed hands for USD 3,750.00 (€ 2,981.40) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Admittedly, works by John Opie have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by 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 in June 2001 with an auction result of GBP 10,340.00 (€ 17,176.80).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Opie konnte im August 2012 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of the Right Honourable Charles James Fox, three-quarter-length, standing beside a table für USD 3.750,00 (€ 2.981,40) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Opie auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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 im Juni 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 10.340,00 (€ 17.176,80).
