Sold at the lower estimate price
In December 2008 Christies in London held the auction British Art on Paper, which included the work Boy wearing a hat by Hubert von Herkomer. The result of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,251.45) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hubert von Herkomer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Miss Katherine Grant (The Lady in White) in December 2021 with an auction result of GBP 81,250.00 (€ 96,914.21).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Dezember 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Art on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Boy wearing a hat von Hubert von Herkomer zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.251,45) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hubert von Herkomer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Miss Katherine Grant (The Lady in White) im Dezember 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 81.250,00 (€ 96.914,21).
