This artwork by Samuel Cotes achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2005. In the IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES AND OBJECTS OF VERTU auction, the work Sir William Ashe À Court, Bt. (1747-1817), In Red Coat With Green Facings And Gold Loops, Gold Embroidered Green Epaulette, Lace Cravat, Powdered Wig En Queue sold for GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,262.77) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Samuel Cotes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A boy, in pink-lined sea-green coat and waistcoat, lace-bordered white shirt, black hat adorned with black-lined pink ribbon and bow in his curling fair hair in December 2003 with an auction result of GBP 19,120.00 (€ 27,080.97).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 95 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Samuel Cotes erzielte im Juli 2005 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES AND OBJECTS OF VERTU wurde die Arbeit Sir William Ashe À Court, Bt. (1747-1817), In Red Coat With Green Facings And Gold Loops, Gold Embroidered Green Epaulette, Lace Cravat, Powdered Wig En Queue für GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.262,77) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Samuel Cotes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A boy, in pink-lined sea-green coat and waistcoat, lace-bordered white shirt, black hat adorned with black-lined pink ribbon and bow in his curling fair hair im Dezember 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 19.120,00 (€ 27.080,97).
