Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A young gentleman, facing left in brown coat and pale orange waistcoat, lace cravat, powdered wig en queue by Thomas Day was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2002. The price achieved of GBP 352.50 (€ 576.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 400.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Day achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of A Gentleman  in April 2008 with an auction result of GBP 19,700.00 (€ 25,114.72).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A young gentleman, facing left in brown coat and pale orange waistcoat, lace cravat, powdered wig en queue von Thomas Day kam im März 2002 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 352,50 (€ 576,24) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300,00 – 400,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Day erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman  im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 19.700,00 (€ 25.114,72).
