Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A young lady, facing left in silk day-gown, cloak draped around her shoulders, her curling hair falling to her shoulders, the lower border inscribed with motto 'pour votre amour 1697' by Thomas Forster was sold in the Miniatures auction at Christies in London in May 2000. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 528.75 (€ 848.45) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Forster achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of A Gentleman in December 2019 with an auction result of GBP 65,000.00 (€ 76,822.39).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A young lady, facing left in silk day-gown, cloak draped around her shoulders, her curling hair falling to her shoulders, the lower border inscribed with motto 'pour votre amour 1697' von Thomas Forster wurde im Mai 2000 in der Auktion Miniatures bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 528,75 (€ 848,45) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Forster erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman im Dezember 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 65.000,00 (€ 76.822,39).
