Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Drapery studies for The Death of Major Peirson; and The Baptism of Saint John the Baptist (recto and verso) by John Singleton Copley was sold in the Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours auction at Christies in London in December 2011. The result of GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,395.28) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 2,000.00 – 4,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Singleton Copley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of James Tilley (1707-1765) in January 2006 with an auction result of USD 374,400.00 (€ 307,945.39).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Drapery studies for The Death of Major Peirson; and The Baptism of Saint John the Baptist (recto and verso) von John Singleton Copley wurde im Dezember 2011 in der Auktion Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 2.000,00 (€ 2.395,28) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 4.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Singleton Copley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of James Tilley (1707-1765) im Januar 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 374.400,00 (€ 307.945,39).
