Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Hon. Mrs. Henry Howard, with bare shoulders, upswept fair hair; sky background by William Charles Ross was sold in the The Gordon Collection of Portrait Miniatures auction at Christies in London in November 2007. It changed hands for a price of GBP 750.00 (€ 1,050.19) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Charles Ross achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Victoria, Princess Royal (1840-1901) As A Child, Holding The Long Blue Silk Ribbons Of Her Hat, In White Dress, Black Coat, Wearing A Blue-Lined Straw Hat Adorned With Black And Blue Ribbons On Her Curly Fair Hair; Landscape Background in November 2013 with an auction result of GBP 18,750.00 (€ 22,563.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Hon. Mrs. Henry Howard, with bare shoulders, upswept fair hair; sky background von William Charles Ross wurde im November 2007 in der Auktion The Gordon Collection of Portrait Miniatures bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 750,00 (€ 1.050,19) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Charles Ross erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Victoria, Princess Royal (1840-1901) As A Child, Holding The Long Blue Silk Ribbons Of Her Hat, In White Dress, Black Coat, Wearing A Blue-Lined Straw Hat Adorned With Black And Blue Ribbons On Her Curly Fair Hair; Landscape Background im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 18.750,00 (€ 22.563,12).
