Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work Portrait of Douglas Hamilton, 8th Duke of Hamilton (1756–1799) by Henry Raeburn. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 214,200.00 (€ 251,193.91) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henry Raeburn - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Sir Evan Murray-MacGregor of MacGregor, 2nd Bt., K.C.B., K.C.H., 19th Chief of Clan Gregor, as a boy (1785-1841), full-length, in tartan, in a landscape, which sold at auction in July 2014 for GBP 458,500.00 (€ 578,312.66).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Douglas Hamilton, 8th Duke of Hamilton (1756–1799) von Henry Raeburn zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 214.200,00 (€ 251.193,91) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Henry Raeburn mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Sir Evan Murray-MacGregor of MacGregor, 2nd Bt., K.C.B., K.C.H., 19th Chief of Clan Gregor, as a boy (1785-1841), full-length, in tartan, in a landscape beobachtet, die im Juli 2014 für GBP 458.500,00 (€ 578.312,66) versteigert wurde.
