Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of Marguerite Of Valois (1553-1615), Queen Of Navarre And Later Queen Of France by Nicholas Hilliard was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 85,000.00 (€ 94,846.95). Admittedly, works by Nicholas Hilliard have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 (€ 409,57
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Marguerite Of Valois (1553-1615), Queen Of Navarre And Later Queen Of France von Nicholas Hilliard im Juli 2017 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 85.000,00 (€ 94.846,95) mehr als viermal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Nicholas Hilliard auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
