John Raphael Smith (1752-1812)
Portrait of a Lady, traditionally identified as the artist's wife, half-length, in a black dress and large hat
with inscription 'By = J.R. Smith/1752-1812/Mrs. J.R. Smith.' (on an old label attached to the backboard, according to the previous cataloguing)

10½ x 8¾ in. (26.8 x 22.3 cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

In November 2005 Christies in London held the auction British Art on Paper, which included the work Portrait of A Lady, Traditionally Identified As The Artist'S Wife, Half-Length, In A Black Dress And Large Hat by John Raphael Smith. The price achieved of GBP 2,880.00 (€ 4,231.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Admittedly, works by John Raphael Smith 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 John Horne Tooke (1736-1812), Small Full-Length, In A Black Sleeping Hat And Blue Suit, Reclining On A Bed in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 18,000.00 (€ 26,677.14).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im November 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Art on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of A Lady, Traditionally Identified As The Artist'S Wife, Half-Length, In A Black Dress And Large Hat von John Raphael Smith zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.880,00 (€ 4.231,08) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Raphael Smith auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait of John Horne Tooke (1736-1812), Small Full-Length, In A Black Sleeping Hat And Blue Suit, Reclining On A Bed im Juni 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 18.000,00 (€ 26.677,14).
