Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2005 Christies in London held the auction Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu, Selected Silver, and, which included the work A gentleman in gold-bordered blue coat and waistcoat, lace cravat and powdered wig en queue by Penelope Carwardine. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 200.00 – 300.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 216.00 (€ 317.33) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Penelope Carwardine - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A young lady, in a low-cut blue dress with a lace collar, pearl choker flowers in her powdered upswept hair, which sold at auction in May 2004 for GBP 537.75 (€ 806.82).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu, Selected Silver, and durch, in der auch die Arbeit A gentleman in gold-bordered blue coat and waistcoat, lace cravat and powdered wig en queue von Penelope Carwardine zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200,00 – 300,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 216,00 (€ 317,33) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Penelope Carwardine mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A young lady, in a low-cut blue dress with a lace collar, pearl choker flowers in her powdered upswept hair beobachtet, die im Mai 2004 für GBP 537,75 (€ 806,82) versteigert wurde.
