Auction result misses estimated price range
In July this year a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait of William, later 1st Earl of Craven, as a boy, in Van Dyck costume by Thomas Beach for GBP 7,680.00 (€ 8,960.23). This price was achieved in the auction Old Master Paintings at Bonhams in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Thomas Beach have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Four portraits of the children of William and Elizabeth Helyar: Joanna, aged 8; Harriet, aged 11; Edward, aged 18; and Bridget, aged 13 in December 2018 with an auction result of GBP 32,500.00 (€ 36,207.88).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juli diesen Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait of William, later 1st Earl of Craven, as a boy, in Van Dyck costume von Thomas Beach für GBP 7.680,00 (€ 8.960,23) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Master Paintings bei Bonhams in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Thomas Beach auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Four portraits of the children of William and Elizabeth Helyar: Joanna, aged 8; Harriet, aged 11; Edward, aged 18; and Bridget, aged 13 im Dezember 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 32.500,00 (€ 36.207,88).
