Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Sonnet 19 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning by Phoebe Anna Traquair was auctioned at Bonhams in Edinburgh in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,805.00 (€ 3,114.71). Admittedly, works by Phoebe Anna Traquair have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Reverie in October 2020 with an auction result of GBP 21,312.50 (€ 23,665.71).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Sonnet 19 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning von Phoebe Anna Traquair im Oktober 2020 bei Bonhams in Edinburgh versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.805,00 (€ 3.114,71) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Phoebe Anna Traquair auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Reverie im Oktober 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 21.312,50 (€ 23.665,71).
