Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of A Lady, Traditionally Identifed As Elizabeth Gunning, Duchess Of Hamilton (1733-1790) by Nathanial Hone the Younger was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,325.82). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nathanial Hone the Younger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Captain the Hon. Robert Boyle Walsingham, M.P. (1736-1780), full-length, in naval uniform, with a view of Louisbourg, Canada, beyond in May 2000 with an auction result of GBP 245,750.00 (€ 394,338.12).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady, Traditionally Identifed As Elizabeth Gunning, Duchess Of Hamilton (1733-1790) von Nathanial Hone the Younger im Mai 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.325,82) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nathanial Hone the Younger erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Captain the Hon. Robert Boyle Walsingham, M.P. (1736-1780), full-length, in naval uniform, with a view of Louisbourg, Canada, beyond im Mai 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 245.750,00 (€ 394.338,12).
