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 young lady in white dress with blue scarf over her shoulders, a garland in her fair hair 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 young lady in white dress with blue scarf over her shoulders, a garland in her fair hair 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.
