A top price for Francis Bernard Dicksee - as previously expected
The work British Yseult by Francis Bernard Dicksee was sold in the 19th Century European Art auction at Sothebys in New York in February 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,000,000.00 – 2,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,155,000.00 (€ 1,015,027.68) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, British Yseult is the most expensive artwork by Francis Bernard Dicksee that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit British Yseult von Francis Bernard Dicksee wurde im Februar 2019 in der Auktion 19th Century European Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000.000,00 – 2.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.155.000,00 (€ 1.015.027,68) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist British Yseult das teuerste Kunstwerk von Francis Bernard Dicksee, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
