A top price for John Trotter

When the work Portrait Of An Officer Of The 18Th Royal Irish Regiment Of Foot by John Trotter was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 85,250.00 (€ 89,537.31). This high result makes Portrait Of An Officer Of The 18Th Royal Irish Regiment Of Foot the most expensive artwork by John Trotter that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für John Trotter

Als die Arbeit Portrait Of An Officer Of The 18Th Royal Irish Regiment Of Foot von John Trotter im Dezember 2008 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 85.250,00 (€ 89.537,31) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Portrait Of An Officer Of The 18Th Royal Irish Regiment Of Foot zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von John Trotter, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
