Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Francis Bernard Dicksee achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in December 2021. In the European & British Art auction, the work The Silent Prayer, study for The Shadowed Face sold for GBP 3,024.00 (€ 3,607.00) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Bernard Dicksee achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work British Yseult in February 2019 with an auction result of USD 1,155,000.00 (€ 1,015,027.68).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Francis Bernard Dicksee erzielte im Dezember 2021 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion European & British Art wurde die Arbeit The Silent Prayer, study for The Shadowed Face für GBP 3.024,00 (€ 3.607,00) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Bernard Dicksee erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit British Yseult im Februar 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.155.000,00 (€ 1.015.027,68).
