Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Portrait Study of Master John Thornton, bust-length, in a blue jacket by John Opie was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2001, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 11,162.50 (€ 12,412.43). Other works by John Opie have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in June 2001 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 at GBP 10,340.00 (€ 17,176.80).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Portrait Study of Master John Thornton, bust-length, in a blue jacket von John Opie im Oktober 2001 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 11.162,50 (€ 12.412,43) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von John Opie wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Juni 2001 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 mit GBP 10.340,00 (€ 17.176,80).
