Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of Lady Russell, bust-length, observed from her left side by Neville Stephen was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 200.00 – 300.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 120.00 (€ 174.17). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Neville Stephen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of a lady, seated half-length, in a deep purple velvet coat before a Chinoiserie screen in July 2008 with an auction result of GBP 8,750.00 (€ 11,116.97).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of Lady Russell, bust-length, observed from her left side von Neville Stephen im Dezember 2005 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200,00 – 300,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 120,00 (€ 174,17) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Neville Stephen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of a lady, seated half-length, in a deep purple velvet coat before a Chinoiserie screen im Juli 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.750,00 (€ 11.116,97).
