William Logsdail
1859-1944
PORTRAIT OF A LADY, TRADITIONALLY IDENTIFIED AS BESSIE BURTON
oil on canvas
203.5 by 116cm., 80 by 45¾in.
Phillips, London, 31 October 1989, lot 66a, where purchased by the present owner

Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.

In December 2016 Sothebys in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, which included the work Portrait Of A Lady, Traditionally Identified As Bessie Burton by William Logsdail. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 13,750.00 (€ 16,075.98), 38% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Logsdail achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Gates Of The Khalifa, Cairo in October 2019 with an auction result of GBP 200,000.00 (€ 231,985.66).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen

Im Dezember 2016 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady, Traditionally Identified As Bessie Burton von William Logsdail zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 13.750,00 (€ 16.075,98) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Logsdail erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Gates Of The Khalifa, Cairo im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 200.000,00 (€ 231.985,66).
