Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A young gentleman, seated in red-upholstered gilt-wood chair, facing right in green jacket with large covered buttons, tied cravat, powdered curling hair by William Grimaldi was sold in the IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU auction at Christies in London in May 2002. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,151.00 (€ 3,368.50) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Grimaldi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of Arthur Wellesley, 1St Duke Of Wellington (1769-1852), which sold at auction in July 2015 for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 9,746.44).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A young gentleman, seated in red-upholstered gilt-wood chair, facing right in green jacket with large covered buttons, tied cravat, powdered curling hair von William Grimaldi wurde im Mai 2002 in der Auktion IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.151,00 (€ 3.368,50) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von William Grimaldi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Of Arthur Wellesley, 1St Duke Of Wellington (1769-1852) beobachtet, die im Juli 2015 für GBP 6.875,00 (€ 9.746,44) versteigert wurde.
