Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

When the work An extensive landscape with houses seen from the Porta Pia, Rome by Thomas Jones was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 164,500.00 (€ 207,486.22). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Thomas Jones; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot View of The Campi Flegrei From The Camadolise Convent Near Naples sold at auction in November 2005 with the realized price of GBP 237,600.00 (€ 349,064.43).

Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit An extensive landscape with houses seen from the Porta Pia, Rome von Thomas Jones im Juli 2014 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 164.500,00 (€ 207.486,22) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Thomas Jones; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit View of The Campi Flegrei From The Camadolise Convent Near Naples im November 2005 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 237.600,00 (€ 349.064,43).
