Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Gentleman, In Gold-Embroidered Rust-Coloured Coat, White Waistcoat And Stock, Powdered Hair En Queue by Peter Paul Lens was sold in the A Life's Devotion: The Collection of the Late Mrs T.S. Eliot auction at Christies in London in November 2013. The price achieved of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,203.37) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter Paul Lens achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A young gentleman wearing a black tricorn hat adorned with plumes, full face in silver-bordered red coat with slashed sleeves and silver frogging; purple curtain background in November 2000 with an auction result of GBP 14,100.00 (€ 23,045.89).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Gentleman, In Gold-Embroidered Rust-Coloured Coat, White Waistcoat And Stock, Powdered Hair En Queue von Peter Paul Lens wurde im November 2013 in der Auktion A Life's Devotion: The Collection of the Late Mrs T.S. Eliot bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.203,37) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Peter Paul Lens erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A young gentleman wearing a black tricorn hat adorned with plumes, full face in silver-bordered red coat with slashed sleeves and silver frogging; purple curtain background im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 14.100,00 (€ 23.045,89).
