Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2012 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & Early British Drawings and Watercolours, which included the work Portrait of Sir John Frederick, 5th Bt. (1750-1825), of Burwood Park, Walton-on-Thames, in a blue coat with powdered hair; and Portrait of Lady Frederick, née Mary Garth (d. 1794), in a white muslin dress with black lace cloak by John Russell. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 11,250.00 (€ 14,329.48) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Russell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait De Lady Georgiana Cavendish (1783-1858), Future Comtesse De Carlisle, À L'Âge De 6 Ans, which sold at auction in November 2020 for EUR 45,500.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & Early British Drawings and Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Sir John Frederick, 5th Bt. (1750-1825), of Burwood Park, Walton-on-Thames, in a blue coat with powdered hair; and Portrait of Lady Frederick, née Mary Garth (d. 1794), in a white muslin dress with black lace cloak von John Russell zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 11.250,00 (€ 14.329,48) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von John Russell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait De Lady Georgiana Cavendish (1783-1858), Future Comtesse De Carlisle, À L'Âge De 6 Ans beobachtet, die im November 2020 für EUR
