Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Joseph Highmore could be acquired at Christies in London in June 2000 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British Pictures auction, the work Portrait of the Duchess of Argyll, three-quarter-length, in an oyster satin dress trimmed with blue ribbons, in a wooded landscape changed hands for GBP 3,525.00 (€ 5,587.56) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Joseph Highmore konnte im Juni 2000 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British Pictures wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of the Duchess of Argyll, three-quarter-length, in an oyster satin dress trimmed with blue ribbons, in a wooded landscape für GBP 3.525,00 (€ 5.587,56) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. 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).
