This artwork by Philip Jean achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2008. In the Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes auction, the work A gentleman, in gold-trimmed blue coat, brass buttons, white waistcoat and frilled cravat, powdered hair en queue; sky background sold for GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,413.45) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Philip Jean achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Paul Sandby (1731-1809), In Blue Coat, White Waistcoat And Cravat, Powdered Hair En Queue, Holding A Pen And Open Book; Landscape Background With Windsor Castle In The Distance in November 2013 with an auction result of GBP 35,000.00 (€ 42,117.82).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 81 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Philip Jean erzielte im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes wurde die Arbeit A gentleman, in gold-trimmed blue coat, brass buttons, white waistcoat and frilled cravat, powdered hair en queue; sky background für GBP 3.250,00 (€ 3.413,45) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Philip Jean erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Paul Sandby (1731-1809), In Blue Coat, White Waistcoat And Cravat, Powdered Hair En Queue, Holding A Pen And Open Book; Landscape Background With Windsor Castle In The Distance im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 35.000,00 (€ 42.117,82).
