Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of Mary Sandys (née Trumbull, d. 1769), half-length, wearing a grey dress with blue bows, lace collar and a pearl necklace by Thomas Bardwell was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,512.00 (€ 1,803.01). Admittedly, works by Thomas Bardwell have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait of Francis Scott, Earl of Dalkeith (1721-1750), half-length, in Hussar uniform, in a feigned oval in December 2016 with an auction result of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,691.62).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of Mary Sandys (née Trumbull, d. 1769), half-length, wearing a grey dress with blue bows, lace collar and a pearl necklace von Thomas Bardwell im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.512,00 (€ 1.803,01) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Thomas Bardwell auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait of Francis Scott, Earl of Dalkeith (1721-1750), half-length, in Hussar uniform, in a feigned oval im Dezember 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.691,62).
