Artwork auctioned at 18 times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of Henry Hoare, 'The Magnificent' Of Stourhead (1705-1785) by William Hoare of Bath was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 18 times as high at GBP 361,250.00 (€ 460,135.40). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by William Hoare of Bath; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portrait of Ayuba Suleiman Diallo, called Job ben Solomon (1701-1773), half-length, in African dress, with the Qu'ran around his neck, in a feigned oval sold at auction in December 2009 with the realized price of GBP 541,250.00 (€ 610,549.03).
Kunstwerk zum 18-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Henry Hoare, 'The Magnificent' Of Stourhead (1705-1785) von William Hoare of Bath im Juli 2012 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 361.250,00 (€ 460.135,40) mehr als 18-mal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von William Hoare of Bath; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Portrait of Ayuba Suleiman Diallo, called Job ben Solomon (1701-1773), half-length, in African dress, with the Qu'ran around his neck, in a feigned oval im Dezember 2009 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 541.250,00 (€ 610.549,03).
