Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Portrait of Mary Sturt (1759-?), three-quarter-length, standing, holding a basket of flowers by Catherine Read was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2013. The result of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,713.37) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Catherine Read - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Lady Isabella Stanhope, later Countess of Sefton (1748-1819), half-length, in Hussar's costume, with a blue pelisse over a braided red dolman, which sold at auction in May 2012 for GBP 10,625.00 (€ 13,238.28).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Portrait of Mary Sturt (1759-?), three-quarter-length, standing, holding a basket of flowers von Catherine Read kam im Juli 2013 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.713,37) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Catherine Read mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Lady Isabella Stanhope, later Countess of Sefton (1748-1819), half-length, in Hussar's costume, with a blue pelisse over a braided red dolman beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für GBP 10.625,00 (€ 13.238,28) versteigert wurde.
