Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Portrait Of Miss Gascoigne, Circa 1775 by John Smart was worth GBP 11,250.00 (€ 13,296.18) to a buyer in December 2019. This price was achieved in the auction The Pohl-Ströher Collection of Portrait Miniatures, Part III at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00 many times over. 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).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Portrait Of Miss Gascoigne, Circa 1775 von John Smart war einem Käufer im Dezember 2019 GBP 11.250,00 (€ 13.296,18) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion The Pohl-Ströher Collection of Portrait Miniatures, Part III bei Sothebys in London erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. 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).
