Portrait study of Mrs Mahala Colton

Found at Bonhams, London
19th Century and British Impressionist Art, Lot 55
21. Sep - 21. Sep 2022
Estimate: 6.000 - 8.000 GBP
Price realised: 8.288 GBP
Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, OM, RA (British, 1836-1912)
Portrait study of Mrs Mahala Colton
signed, inscribed and dated 'L Alma Tadema/with a happy new year/to Mrs Mahala Colton/L. 1905' (lower right)
watercolour
16 x 19cm (6 5/16 x 7 1/2in).
Private collection, UK.

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Portrait study of Mrs Mahala Colton by Lawrence Alma-Tadema was sold in the 19th Century and British Impressionist Art auction at Bonhams in London in September last year. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 8,287.50 (€ 9,431.98). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lawrence Alma-Tadema achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work British the Finding Of Moses in November 2010 with an auction result of USD 35,922,500.00 (€ 27,556,382.33).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Portrait study of Mrs Mahala Colton von Lawrence Alma-Tadema wurde im September letzten Jahres in der Auktion 19th Century and British Impressionist Art bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 8.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 8.287,50 (€ 9.431,98) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lawrence Alma-Tadema erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit British the Finding Of Moses im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 35.922.500,00 (€ 27.556.382,33).
