Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Thomas Frank Heaphy could be acquired at Christies in London in February 2007 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Christopher Wood A Very Victorian Eye auction, the work Portrait of a young girl changed hands for GBP 960.00 (€ 1,423.17) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Frank Heaphy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Probably Oliver Goldsmith discovering his mistake. 'Oliver Goldsmith, having mistaken a gentleman's house for an inn, discovers his error on offering gratuities to the family who had waited on him, next morning' in February 2005 with an auction result of GBP 22,800.00 (€ 33,062.92).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Thomas Frank Heaphy konnte im Februar 2007 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Christopher Wood A Very Victorian Eye wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of a young girl für GBP 960,00 (€ 1.423,17) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Frank Heaphy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Probably Oliver Goldsmith discovering his mistake. 'Oliver Goldsmith, having mistaken a gentleman's house for an inn, discovers his error on offering gratuities to the family who had waited on him, next morning' im Februar 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 22.800,00 (€ 33.062,92).
