Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work Self-Portrait Aged 31 by Nathanial Hone the Younger was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 43,750.00 (€ 51,707.38). Admittedly, works by Nathanial Hone the Younger have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Self-Portrait Aged 31 von Nathanial Hone the Younger im Dezember 2019 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 43.750,00 (€ 51.707,38) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Nathanial Hone the Younger auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
