Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by John Prescott Knight could be acquired at Christies in London in May 2005 for an unexpectedly low price. In the THE ROYAL & SUNALLIANCE COLLECTION auction, the work Portrait of Lestock Peach Wilson, seated, three-quarter length changed hands for GBP 960.00 (€ 1,417.26) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Other works by John Prescott Knight have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in December 2007 by the work "Auld Robin Gray" at GBP 1,187.50 (€ 1,613.61).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Prescott Knight konnte im Mai 2005 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion THE ROYAL & SUNALLIANCE COLLECTION wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of Lestock Peach Wilson, seated, three-quarter length für GBP 960,00 (€ 1.417,26) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Andere Arbeiten von John Prescott Knight wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Dezember 2007 die Arbeit "Auld Robin Gray" mit GBP 1.187,50 (€ 1.613,61).
