Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2002 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian Pictures, which included the work Portrait of Rebecca Branthwayt (d.1740), neé Newton, seated three-quarter-length, in a white satin dress and blue wrap in a draped interior by John Theodore Heins. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,292.50 (€ 2,024.07). Admittedly, works by John Theodore Heins have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by 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 in November 2003 with an auction result of GBP 6,214.00 (€ 8,920.29).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Rebecca Branthwayt (d.1740), neé Newton, seated three-quarter-length, in a white satin dress and blue wrap in a draped interior von John Theodore Heins zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 1.200,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 1.292,50 (€ 2.024,07) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Theodore Heins auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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 im November 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.214,00 (€ 8.920,29).
