Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait Of Lady Hillingdon by Francis Bernard Dicksee was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2015. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 300,000.00 – 500,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 341,000.00 (€ 463,061.61) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francis Bernard Dicksee - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work British Yseult, which sold at auction in February 2019 for USD 1,155,000.00 (€ 1,015,027.68).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait Of Lady Hillingdon von Francis Bernard Dicksee kam im Dezember 2015 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 341.000,00 (€ 463.061,61) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Francis Bernard Dicksee mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit British Yseult beobachtet, die im Februar 2019 für USD 1.155.000,00 (€ 1.015.027,68) versteigert wurde.
