Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Tailpiece, or The Bathos by William Hogarth was sold in the Prints & Multiples auction at Christies in London in March 2017. The price achieved of GBP 625.00 (€ 732.44) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500.00 – 700.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Hogarth achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Pugilist: A Quarterstaff Player, almost certainly James Figg (1684-1734) in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 375,000.00 (€ 418,908.42).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Hogarth erzielen.
