Despite a disappointment, a good price for William Bennett
This work of art by William Bennett could be acquired at Christies in London in May 2004 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British and Victorian Paintings auction, the work Portrait of Robert Bullough, bust-length, wearing a red velvet jacket and white cravat; and Portrait of his wife, Sarah, bust-length, wearing a blue dress with lace borders and two brooches, in a feigned oval changed hands for GBP 2,987.50 (€ 4,482.35) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 Despite this disappointing result, Portrait of Robert Bullough, bust-length, wearing a red velvet jacket and white cravat; and Portrait of his wife, Sarah, bust-length, wearing a blue dress with lace borders and two brooches, in a feigned oval is the most expensive artwork by William Bennett that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für William Bennett
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Bennett konnte im Mai 2004 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British and Victorian Paintings wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of Robert Bullough, bust-length, wearing a red velvet jacket and white cravat; and Portrait of his wife, Sarah, bust-length, wearing a blue dress with lace borders and two brooches, in a feigned oval für GBP 2.987,50 (€ 4.482,35) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Portrait of Robert Bullough, bust-length, wearing a red velvet jacket and white cravat; and Portrait of his wife, Sarah, bust-length, wearing a blue dress with lace borders and two brooches, in a feigned oval das teuerste Kunstwerk von William Bennett, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
