Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2001 Christies in London held the auction British Pictures 1500-1850, which included the work Portrait Of A Gentleman, Three-Quarter-Length, In A Brown Cloak, In An Interior by John Riley. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 7,050.00 (€ 11,711.45) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Riley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Frances Wiat, three-quarter-length, seated, in an ochre dress and blue wrap, holding an orange in her left hand, her right arm resting on a plinth, before a draped curtain, which sold at auction in June 2000 for GBP 25,850.00 (€ 40,975.43).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Pictures 1500-1850 durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman, Three-Quarter-Length, In A Brown Cloak, In An Interior von John Riley zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 7.050,00 (€ 11.711,45) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von John Riley mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Frances Wiat, three-quarter-length, seated, in an ochre dress and blue wrap, holding an orange in her left hand, her right arm resting on a plinth, before a draped curtain beobachtet, die im Juni 2000 für GBP 25.850,00 (€ 40.975,43) versteigert wurde.
