Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Thomas Frye achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2004. In the British and Victorian including Scottish Paintings auction, the work Portrait of Benjamin Day, seated three-quarter-length, in a brown jacket, black breeches and a white stock, by a draped table sold for GBP 3,107.00 (€ 4,650.89) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Frye achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of A Gentleman; And Portrait Of A Lady in April 2010 with an auction result of GBP 43,250.00 (€ 49,772.29).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Thomas Frye erzielte im März 2004 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British and Victorian including Scottish Paintings wurde die Arbeit Portrait of Benjamin Day, seated three-quarter-length, in a brown jacket, black breeches and a white stock, by a draped table für GBP 3.107,00 (€ 4.650,89) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Frye erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman; And Portrait Of A Lady im April 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 43.250,00 (€ 49.772,29).
