Upper estimate price exceeded by 43 %.

In July 2017 Christies in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art, which included the work The Temptation of Eve by John Roddam Spencer Stanhope. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 50,000.00 (€ 55,792.32), 43% above the upper 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 43 % übertroffen

Im Juli 2017 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Temptation of Eve von John Roddam Spencer Stanhope zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 50.000,00 (€ 55.792,32) und damit 43% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
