Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Portrait of William Johnston of Lathrick with his two sons, full-length, the father seated wearing a dark suit and white cravat, one son wearing blue on the floor with his father's hand on his shoulder, the other on the arm of his father's chair, hol by John Watson Gordon was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2013. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 11,250.00 (€ 13,297.41) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Watson Gordon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Richard Raines Savage, full-length, seated, in a black coat and white waistcoat, with two dogs, in a landscape, which sold at auction in December 2000 for GBP 17,037.50 (€ 27,140.59).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Portrait of William Johnston of Lathrick with his two sons, full-length, the father seated wearing a dark suit and white cravat, one son wearing blue on the floor with his father's hand on his shoulder, the other on the arm of his father's chair, hol von John Watson Gordon kam im Oktober 2013 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 11.250,00 (€ 13.297,41) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von John Watson Gordon mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Richard Raines Savage, full-length, seated, in a black coat and white waistcoat, with two dogs, in a landscape beobachtet, die im Dezember 2000 für GBP 17.037,50 (€ 27.140,59) verstei
