SIR WILLIAM JOHN NEWTON
A lady, in white dress with ruby brooch at corsage, a pink stole over her shoulder, her hair in ringlets
gilt-metal easel frame, the reverse engraved
rectangular with arched top, 3¾ in. (95 mm.) high

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by William John Newton achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2007. In the Portrait Miniatures & Objects of Vertu auction, the work A lady, in white dress with ruby brooch at corsage, a pink stole over her shoulder, her hair in ringlets sold for GBP 504.00 (€ 741.83) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 250.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William John Newton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Captain Thomas Boteler In Gold-Bordered Naval Uniform With White Facings And Gold Epaulettes in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 7,800.00 (€ 11,583.24).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von William John Newton erzielte im März 2007 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Portrait Miniatures & Objects of Vertu wurde die Arbeit A lady, in white dress with ruby brooch at corsage, a pink stole over her shoulder, her hair in ringlets für GBP 504,00 (€ 741,83) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 250,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William John Newton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Captain Thomas Boteler In Gold-Bordered Naval Uniform With White Facings And Gold Epaulettes im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.800,00 (€ 11.583,24).
