Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by John Smart achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in December 2019. In the The Pohl-Ströher Collection of Portrait Miniatures, Part III auction, the work Portrait Of A Lady sold for GBP 8,750.00 (€ 10,341.48) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 4,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Smart achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Muhammad 'Ali Khan, Nawab Of Arcot And Prince Of The Carnatic (1718-1795) in April 2008 with an auction result of GBP 120,500.00 (€ 153,620.47).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Smart erzielte im Dezember 2019 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Pohl-Ströher Collection of Portrait Miniatures, Part III wurde die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady für GBP 8.750,00 (€ 10.341,48) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 4.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Smart erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Muhammad 'Ali Khan, Nawab Of Arcot And Prince Of The Carnatic (1718-1795) im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 120.500,00 (€ 153.620,47).
