In December 2007 Christies in London held the auction British & Continental Watercolours & Drawings, which included the work An Elegant Gentleman On Horseback by Richard Dighton. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 687.50 (€ 934.20), 38% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Richard Dighton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fourteen potraits of gentleman including Captain Thomas Todd (illustrated) R.N., the Marquis of Lansdowne, Mr Balfour, Lord Langdale, Col. Roger Palmer, Major Groves, Mr Studd, Lord Cranworth, Lord St. Leonards, Hon. Mr Daly, Mr Capron and Mr Spooner, which sold at auction in March 2011 for GBP 2,125.00 (€ 2,404.43).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion British & Continental Watercolours & Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit An Elegant Gentleman On Horseback von Richard Dighton zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 687,50 (€ 934,20) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Richard Dighton mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Fourteen potraits of gentleman including Captain Thomas Todd (illustrated) R.N., the Marquis of Lansdowne, Mr Balfour, Lord Langdale, Col. Roger Palmer, Major Groves, Mr Studd, Lord Cranworth, Lord St. Leonards, Hon. Mr Daly, Mr Capron and Mr Spooner beobachtet, die im März 2011 für GBP 2.125,00 (€ 2.404,43) versteigert wurde.
