Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July 2010 Sothebys in London held the auction An Exceptional Eye: A Private British Collection, which included the work Portrait Of A Nobleman by Nicholas Hilliard. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 25,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 26,250.00 (€ 31,562.67). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nicholas Hilliard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Highly Important Miniature of Elizabeth I (1533-1603), Queen of England 1558-1603, In Gold Dress With Gold-Embroidered White Sleeves, The Bodice And Sleeves Slashed To Reveal White, The Bodice Richly Embellished With Gold-Set Ruby, Diamond And Drop in June 2007 with an auction result of GBP 276,000.00 (€ 409,5
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juli 2010 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion An Exceptional Eye: A Private British Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of A Nobleman von Nicholas Hilliard zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 25.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 26.250,00 (€ 31.562,67) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nicholas Hilliard erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Highly Important Miniature of Elizabeth I (1533-1603), Queen of England 1558-1603, In Gold Dress With Gold-Embroidered White Sleeves, The Bodice And Sleeves Slashed To Reveal White, The Bodice Richly Embellished With Gold-Set Ruby, Diamond And Drop im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 276.000,00 (€ 409.570,12).
