Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait Of Admiral Sir John Thomas Duckworth, 1St Baronet (1748 - 1817), Three-Quarter Length, In Naval Uniform, Wearing The Breast Star And Sash Of The Order Of Bath by William Beechey was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 12,500.0 Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Beechey achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Dashwood Children in January 2014 with an auction result of USD 821,000.00 (€ 608,148.15).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Admiral Sir John Thomas Duckworth, 1St Baronet (1748 - 1817), Three-Quarter Length, In Naval Uniform, Wearing The Breast Star And Sash Of The Order Of Bath von William Beechey im Oktober 2019 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 12.500,00 (€ 11.205,74) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Beechey erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Dashwood Children im Januar 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 821.000,00 (€ 608.148,15).
