Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2016 Christies in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art, which included the work A design for the reredos at Holy Trinity Church, Florence, including: The Crucifixion; The Annunciation; four Old Testament Prophets; and eight Angels by John Roddam Spencer Stanhope. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 43,750.00 (€ 51,150.85) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Roddam Spencer Stanhope achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Penelope in December 2017 with an auction result of GBP 645,000.00 (€ 725,853.02).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A design for the reredos at Holy Trinity Church, Florence, including: The Crucifixion; The Annunciation; four Old Testament Prophets; and eight Angels von John Roddam Spencer Stanhope zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 43.750,00 (€ 51.150,85) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Roddam Spencer Stanhope erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Penelope im Dezember 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 645.000,00 (€ 725.853,02).
