Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait of Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753) by Jonathan Richardson was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 17,500.00 (€ 19,496.55). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jonathan Richardson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Group Portrait of The Artist And His Son, Jonathan, With John Milton, Three-Quarter-Length, On A Balcony, which sold at auction in June 2005 for GBP 26,400.00 (€ 39,126.47).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait of Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753) von Jonathan Richardson im Dezember 2018 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 17.500,00 (€ 19.496,55) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Jonathan Richardson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Group Portrait of The Artist And His Son, Jonathan, With John Milton, Three-Quarter-Length, On A Balcony beobachtet, die im Juni 2005 für GBP 26.400,00 (€ 39.126,47) versteigert wurde.
