Upper estimate price exceeded by 34 %.
The work A naval officer, in gold-bordered blue uniform, blue facings, gold buttons, knotted white cravat by Peter Paul Lens was sold in the The Gordon Collection of Portrait Miniatures auction at Christies in London in November 2007. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 937.50 (€ 1,312.74), 34% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 34 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit A naval officer, in gold-bordered blue uniform, blue facings, gold buttons, knotted white cravat von Peter Paul Lens wurde im November 2007 in der Auktion The Gordon Collection of Portrait Miniatures bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 937,50 (€ 1.312,74) und damit 34% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
