Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2000 Christies in London held the auction BRITISH AND VICTORIAN PICTURES, which included the work Portrait of Dorothy Branthwayt (d.1769), half-length, in a turquoise dress and red wrap, feigned oval by John Theodore Heins. The price achieved of GBP 1,762.50 (€ 2,949.20) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Theodore Heins - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Lucy, Lady Gage, daughter of William Knight, half-length, in an oyster satin dress and blue wrap, with a feathered headdress, feigned oval, which sold at auction in November 2003 for GBP 6,214.00 (€ 8,920.29).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion BRITISH AND VICTORIAN PICTURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Dorothy Branthwayt (d.1769), half-length, in a turquoise dress and red wrap, feigned oval von John Theodore Heins zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.762,50 (€ 2.949,20) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von John Theodore Heins mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Lucy, Lady Gage, daughter of William Knight, half-length, in an oyster satin dress and blue wrap, with a feathered headdress, feigned oval beobachtet, die im November 2003 für GBP 6.214,00 (€ 8.920,29) versteigert wurde.
