Upper estimate price exceeded by 77 %.
This artwork by Joseph Wright of Derby achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in April 2021. In the Old Masters auction, the work Portrait Of Miss Ann Carver Before A Landscape, Three-Quarter-Length sold for USD 212,500.00 (€ 176,641.73) - well above the upper estimate of USD 120,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joseph Wright of Derby achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Academy By Lamplight in December 2017 with an auction result of GBP 7,263,700.00 (€ 8,174,230.35).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Joseph Wright of Derby erzielte im April 2021 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters wurde die Arbeit Portrait Of Miss Ann Carver Before A Landscape, Three-Quarter-Length für USD 212.500,00 (€ 176.641,73) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 120.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joseph Wright of Derby erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An Academy By Lamplight im Dezember 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.263.700,00 (€ 8.174.230,35).
