Upper estimate price exceeded by 75 %.
This artwork by Ozias Humphry achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in April 2008. In the Important Miniatures from a Private Collection auction, the work Portrait Of Richard Ottley (D.1775) sold for GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,462.01) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. 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 um 75 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ozias Humphry erzielte im April 2008 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Important Miniatures from a Private Collection wurde die Arbeit Portrait Of Richard Ottley (D.1775) für GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.462,01) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00. 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).
