Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2001 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings, which included the work Portrait of the Duke of Wellington, half-length holding a telescope by Thomas Heaphy. It changed hands for a price of GBP 998.75 (€ 1,612.55) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Heaphy - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Miss Godfrey, Full-Length, Seated With Her Dog, which sold at auction in June 2007 for GBP 2,280.00 (€ 3,383.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of the Duke of Wellington, half-length holding a telescope von Thomas Heaphy zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 998,75 (€ 1.612,55) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas Heaphy mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Miss Godfrey, Full-Length, Seated With Her Dog beobachtet, die im Juni 2007 für GBP 2.280,00 (€ 3.383,41) versteigert wurde.
