A top price for Thomas Rowlandson - as previously expected
The work A gaming table at Devonshire House, London: Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, Harriet, Lady Duncannon, the Prince of Wales and others gambling by Thomas Rowlandson was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours auction at Christies in London in July 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 87,500.00 (€ 97,636.56) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A gaming table at Devonshire House, London: Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, Harriet, Lady Duncannon, the Prince of Wales and others gambling is the most expensive artwork by Thomas Rowlandson that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit A gaming table at Devonshire House, London: Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, Harriet, Lady Duncannon, the Prince of Wales and others gambling von Thomas Rowlandson wurde im Juli 2017 in der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 87.500,00 (€ 97.636,56) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A gaming table at Devonshire House, London: Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, Harriet, Lady Duncannon, the Prince of Wales and others gambling das teuerste Kunstwerk von Thomas Rowlandson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
