This artwork by William Hoare of Bath achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2012. In the Andrew Wyld: Connoisseur Dealer auction, the work Study of hands, one holding a quill pen sold for GBP 1,750.00 (€ 2,229.03) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Hoare of Bath achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 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 in December 2009 with an auction result of GBP 541,250.00 (€ 610,549.03).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Hoare of Bath erzielte im Juli 2012 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Andrew Wyld: Connoisseur Dealer wurde die Arbeit Study of hands, one holding a quill pen für GBP 1.750,00 (€ 2.229,03) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Hoare of Bath erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte 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 einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 541.250,00 (€ 610.549,03).
