Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of Grey Brydges, 5Th Baron Chandos (1578/9-1621) by William Larkin 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 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 289,250.00 (€ 368,426.76). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by William Larkin; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portrait of lady, probably Lady Thornhagh, three-quarter-length, in an embroidered bodice and an embroidered dress, with a pale yellow lace collar, and a blue and red mantle over her left shoulder, beside a table, flanked by draped curtains sold at auction in July 2008 with the realized price of GBP 505,250.00 (€ 641,925.81).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Grey Brydges, 5Th Baron Chandos (1578/9-1621) von William Larkin 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 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 289.250,00 (€ 368.426,76) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von William Larkin; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Portrait of lady, probably Lady Thornhagh, three-quarter-length, in an embroidered bodice and an embroidered dress, with a pale yellow lace collar, and a blue and red mantle over her left shoulder, beside a table, flanked by draped curtains im Juli 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 505.250,00 (€ 641.925,81).
