This artwork by Joseph Wright of Derby achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July last year. In the Old Master Paintings & Sculpture Online auction, the work Portrait of Richard Ellison (1722-1797), three-quarter-length, in a claret coat; and Portrait of Esther Ellison, née Walker (1726-1813), three-quarter-length, in a blue dress sold for GBP 44,100.00 (€ 52,663.23) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Joseph Wright of Derby erzielte im Juli letzten Jahres bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Paintings & Sculpture Online wurde die Arbeit Portrait of Richard Ellison (1722-1797), three-quarter-length, in a claret coat; and Portrait of Esther Ellison, née Walker (1726-1813), three-quarter-length, in a blue dress für GBP 44.100,00 (€ 52.663,23) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 20.000,00. 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).
