Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2001 Christies in London held the auction British Pictures 1500-1850, which included the work Portrait of Alice Caulfeild, daughter of William, 1st Viscount Charlemont, three-quarter-length, in a blue dress, seated in an interior by Joseph Highmore. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,055.00 (€ 4,861.47) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joseph Highmore achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Three girls, three-quarter-length, in blue, pink and oyster satin dresses, in a landscape in December 2000 with an auction result of GBP 44,650.00 (€ 71,127.05).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Pictures 1500-1850 durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Alice Caulfeild, daughter of William, 1st Viscount Charlemont, three-quarter-length, in a blue dress, seated in an interior von Joseph Highmore zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.055,00 (€ 4.861,47) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joseph Highmore erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Three girls, three-quarter-length, in blue, pink and oyster satin dresses, in a landscape im Dezember 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 44.650,00 (€ 71.127,05).
