A top price for Thomas Gibson

When the work Portrait of the Hon. Mrs William Townshend, three-quarter-length, in black and red masquerade dress, holding a mask in her right hand, a classical arcade beyond by Thomas Gibson was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2003, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 33,460.00 (€ 48,083.84). This high result makes Portrait of the Hon. Mrs William Townshend, three-quarter-length, in black and red masquerade dress, holding a mask in her right hand, a classical arcade beyond the most expensive artwork by Thomas Gibson that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Thomas Gibson

Als die Arbeit Portrait of the Hon. Mrs William Townshend, three-quarter-length, in black and red masquerade dress, holding a mask in her right hand, a classical arcade beyond von Thomas Gibson im Juni 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 10.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 33.460,00 (€ 48.083,84) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Portrait of the Hon. Mrs William Townshend, three-quarter-length, in black and red masquerade dress, holding a mask in her right hand, a classical arcade beyond zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Thomas Gibson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
