Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of Lieutenant John William Commerell (1755-1847), And His Wife Mary, Nee Bosanquet (1742-1810) by Richard Crosse was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 16,250.00 (€ 18,039.29). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Richard Crosse - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of John Crosse (1721-1776), The Artist'S Father, Circa 1770, which sold at auction in December 2019 for GBP 52,500.00 (€ 62,048.86).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Lieutenant John William Commerell (1755-1847), And His Wife Mary, Nee Bosanquet (1742-1810) von Richard Crosse im Mai 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 16.250,00 (€ 18.039,29) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Richard Crosse mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Of John Crosse (1721-1776), The Artist'S Father, Circa 1770 beobachtet, die im Dezember 2019 für GBP 52.500,00 (€ 62.048,86) versteigert wurde.
