THOMAS ROWLANDSON (LONDON 1756-1827)
Skating on the Serpentine
with signature 'T. Rowlandson.' (lower right)
pencil, pen and ink and watercolour on paper, on the artist's washline mount
5 ¾ x 9 ¼ in. (13.4 x 23.5 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 76 %.

This artwork by Thomas Rowlandson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December this year. In the Old Masters Part II: Paintings, Sculpture, Drawings and Watercolours auction, the work Skating on the Serpentine sold for GBP 5,292.00 (€ 6,096.18) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Rowlandson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A gaming table at Devonshire House, London: Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, Harriet, Lady Duncannon, the Prince of Wales and others gambling in July 2017 with an auction result of GBP 87,500.00 (€ 97,636.56).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Thomas Rowlandson erzielte im Dezember diesen Jahres bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters Part II: Paintings, Sculpture, Drawings and Watercolours wurde die Arbeit Skating on the Serpentine für GBP 5.292,00 (€ 6.096,18) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Rowlandson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A gaming table at Devonshire House, London: Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, Harriet, Lady Duncannon, the Prince of Wales and others gambling im Juli 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 87.500,00 (€ 97.636,56).
