Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait Of A Gentleman by Nathaniel Hone the Elder was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2008. The price achieved of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 3,676.02) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 4,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nathaniel Hone the Elder achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Double portrait of Lieutenant-General the Hon. Philip Sherard and Captain William Tiffin, at the Battle of Brücke-Mühle, 21 September 1762, the former full-length in the uniform of the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards, the latter three-quarter-length, c in May 2008 with an auction result of GBP 294,500.00 (€
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman von Nathaniel Hone the Elder kam im Dezember 2008 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.500,00 (€ 3.676,02) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nathaniel Hone the Elder erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Double portrait of Lieutenant-General the Hon. Philip Sherard and Captain William Tiffin, at the Battle of Brücke-Mühle, 21 September 1762, the former full-length in the uniform of the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards, the latter three-quarter-length, c im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 294.500,00 (€ 374.616,87).
