Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by William Beechey achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2016. In the Old Master and British Paintings auction, the work Portrait Of King George Iii (1738-1820), Three-Quarter-Length, In Field Marshal'S Uniform, With The Star Of The Order Of The Garter, With Windsor Castle Beyond sold for GBP 43,750.00 (€ 55,925.51) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Beechey erzielte im April 2016 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master and British Paintings wurde die Arbeit Portrait Of King George Iii (1738-1820), Three-Quarter-Length, In Field Marshal'S Uniform, With The Star Of The Order Of The Garter, With Windsor Castle Beyond für GBP 43.750,00 (€ 55.925,51) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 20.000,00. 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).
