Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of Henry William Baynton, Aged 13 Years, 6 Months, Midship Man In The Cleopatra by Thomas Hickey was auctioned at Sothebys in Olympia in July 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 8,400.00 (€ 12,475.94). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Hickey - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of George, 1st Earl Macartney, half length, wearing the Order of the Bath, which sold at auction in November 2019 for GBP 23,750.00 (€ 27,888.31).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Henry William Baynton, Aged 13 Years, 6 Months, Midship Man In The Cleopatra von Thomas Hickey im Juli 2007 bei Sothebys in Olympia versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 8.400,00 (€ 12.475,94) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas Hickey mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of George, 1st Earl Macartney, half length, wearing the Order of the Bath beobachtet, die im November 2019 für GBP 23.750,00 (€ 27.888,31) versteigert wurde.
