Sold at the lower estimate price
The work A Portrait Of Lady Mary Hervey, Née Lepelle (1700-1768), Head And Shoulders Within The Memoir, 'Letters Of Lady Mary Lepelle', 1821 by Jonathan Richardson was sold in the Old Master and British Drawings and Watercolours auction at Christies in London in December 2014. The result of GBP 800.00 (€ 1,029.87) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jonathan Richardson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Group Portrait of The Artist And His Son, Jonathan, With John Milton, Three-Quarter-Length, On A Balcony in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 26,400.00 (€ 39,126.47).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit A Portrait Of Lady Mary Hervey, Née Lepelle (1700-1768), Head And Shoulders Within The Memoir, 'Letters Of Lady Mary Lepelle', 1821 von Jonathan Richardson wurde im Dezember 2014 in der Auktion Old Master and British Drawings and Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 800,00 (€ 1.029,87) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jonathan Richardson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Group Portrait of The Artist And His Son, Jonathan, With John Milton, Three-Quarter-Length, On A Balcony im Juni 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 26.400,00 (€ 39.126,47).
