Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of a gentleman, three-quarter-length, in a brown coat and wrap, his right arm resting on a plinth, a landscape beyond by John Riley was sold in the British and Victorian Paintings auction at Christies in London in September 2005. The price achieved of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 4,402.72) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,500.00 – 4,000.00. Admittedly, works by John Riley 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 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 in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 25,850.00 (€ 40,975.43).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of a gentleman, three-quarter-length, in a brown coat and wrap, his right arm resting on a plinth, a landscape beyond von John Riley wurde im September 2005 in der Auktion British and Victorian Paintings bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 4.402,72) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.500,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Riley auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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 im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 25.850,00 (€ 40.975,43).
