Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait Of Wazir Ali Khan, Later Nawab Wazir Of Oudh (1780-1817) by Ozias Humphry was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 11,250.00 (€ 12,533.50) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Ozias Humphry have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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).

Die Arbeit Portrait Of Wazir Ali Khan, Later Nawab Wazir Of Oudh (1780-1817) von Ozias Humphry kam im Dezember 2018 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion.

Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ozias Humphry auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
