Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon (1751-1838), seated three-quarter-length, in a black coat and white stock by William Owen was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2007. The price achieved of GBP 3,600.00 (€ 5,431.57) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 4,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Owen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Ernest Augustus I (1771-1851), Duke of Cumberland and later King of Hanover (1837-1851), full-length, in the uniform of a British General Officer of Hussars, with the blue sash and breast star of the Order of the Garter in October 2015 with an auction result of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 87,421.89).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon (1751-1838), seated three-quarter-length, in a black coat and white stock von William Owen kam im Januar 2007 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.600,00 (€ 5.431,57) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Owen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Ernest Augustus I (1771-1851), Duke of Cumberland and later King of Hanover (1837-1851), full-length, in the uniform of a British General Officer of Hussars, with the blue sash and breast star of the Order of the Garter im Oktober 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 62.500,00 (€ 87.421,89).
