Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work A Young Gentleman, In Black Doublet With White Lawn Collar And Tassels, Shoulder-Length Fair Hair, Moustache And Small Pointed Beard by William Dobson was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 9,000.00 (€ 13,355.55). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Dobson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of a gentleman, traditionally identified as Lucius Cary, 2nd Viscount Falkland (c. 1610-1643), half-length, in black in July 2018 with an auction result of GBP 440,750.00 (€ 494,177.67).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A Young Gentleman, In Black Doublet With White Lawn Collar And Tassels, Shoulder-Length Fair Hair, Moustache And Small Pointed Beard von William Dobson im Juni 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 9.000,00 (€ 13.355,55) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Dobson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of a gentleman, traditionally identified as Lucius Cary, 2nd Viscount Falkland (c. 1610-1643), half-length, in black im Juli 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 440.750,00 (€ 494.177,67).
