Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Portrait of Sir Edward Gambier (1794-1879), half-length, in a black coat, buff waistcoat and white stock by William Beechey was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2013. The price achieved of GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,229.64) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. 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).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Portrait of Sir Edward Gambier (1794-1879), half-length, in a black coat, buff waistcoat and white stock von William Beechey kam im September 2013 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.375,00 (€ 5.229,64) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
