Auction result misses estimated price range
In May 2000 a collector was able to acquire the work Mrs Captain Thomas, facing left in lace-bordered maroon velvet dress with white underslip, gold and gem studded brooch at corsage, her brown hair dressed in ringlets by William John Newton for GBP 587.50 (€ 942.72). This price was achieved in the auction Miniatures at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00 set by the auction house. 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).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai 2000 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Mrs Captain Thomas, facing left in lace-bordered maroon velvet dress with white underslip, gold and gem studded brooch at corsage, her brown hair dressed in ringlets von William John Newton für GBP 587,50 (€ 942,72) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Miniatures bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00. 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).
