Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2008 Sothebys in London held the auction Early British & Irish Paintings, which included the work Portrait Of King Charles I by William Dobson. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 217,250.00 (€ 228,175.71) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Dobson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of a gentleman, traditionally identified as Lucius Cary, 2nd Viscount Falkland (c. 1610-1643), half-length, in black, which sold at auction in July 2018 for GBP 440,750.00 (€ 494,177.67).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2008 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Early British & Irish Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of King Charles I von William Dobson zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 217.250,00 (€ 228.175,71) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von William Dobson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of a gentleman, traditionally identified as Lucius Cary, 2nd Viscount Falkland (c. 1610-1643), half-length, in black beobachtet, die im Juli 2018 für GBP 440.750,00 (€ 494.177,67) versteigert wurde.
