Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work A young officer, probably of an Indian infantry regiment, facing left in red coat with gold-bordered blue facings, white cravat and black stock, powdered hair en queue by Ozias Humphry was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2003. It achieved a price of GBP 4,182.50 (€ 6,010.48), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ozias Humphry achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Sahibzada (C. 1782 - C. 1817), In Orange And White Robe, Wearing A Blue Nawabi Turban, Seated Cross-Legged On A Gold Striped Purple Cushion; Column Background in November 2013 with an auction result of GBP 56,250.00 (€ 67,689.35).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit A young officer, probably of an Indian infantry regiment, facing left in red coat with gold-bordered blue facings, white cravat and black stock, powdered hair en queue von Ozias Humphry kam im Juni 2003 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 4.182,50 (€ 6.010,48) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 20%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ozias Humphry erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Sahibzada (C. 1782 - C. 1817), In Orange And White Robe, Wearing A Blue Nawabi Turban, Seated Cross-Legged On A Gold Striped Purple Cushion; Column Background im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 56.250,00 (€ 67.689,35).
