This artwork by Thomas Hickey achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2005. In the THE IRISH SALE auction, the work Portrait of The Right Honourable John Beresford, Head And Shoulders, In A Blue Jacket And White Cravat sold for GBP 1,680.00 (€ 2,480.21) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 900.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Hickey achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of George, 1st Earl Macartney, half length, wearing the Order of the Bath in November 2019 with an auction result of GBP 23,750.00 (€ 27,888.31).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 87 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Thomas Hickey erzielte im Mai 2005 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion THE IRISH SALE wurde die Arbeit Portrait of The Right Honourable John Beresford, Head And Shoulders, In A Blue Jacket And White Cravat für GBP 1.680,00 (€ 2.480,21) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 900,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Hickey erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of George, 1st Earl Macartney, half length, wearing the Order of the Bath im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 23.750,00 (€ 27.888,31).
