Auction result well in line with expectations

In December 2011 Christies in London held the auction Old Masters and British Paintings, which included the work Portrait of a lady, three-quarter-length, in a bejewelled black dress and hat, in a landscape by John Vanderbank. The price achieved of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,730.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. Admittedly, works by John Vanderbank have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Mary, Countess of Delorain (1705-1737), three-quarter length, in a white dress by an orange tree, a landscape beyond in July 2018 with an auction result of GBP 35,000.00 (€ 39,242.70).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Dezember 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Masters and British Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of a lady, three-quarter-length, in a bejewelled black dress and hat, in a landscape von John Vanderbank zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.730,84) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Vanderbank auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Mary, Countess of Delorain (1705-1737), three-quarter length, in a white dress by an orange tree, a landscape beyond im Juli 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 35.000,00 (€ 39.242,70).
