Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2011 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings - Day Sale, which included the work Portrait of William Trollop, small full-length, in a brown suit and a blue waistcoat, in an interior by Arthur Devis. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 34,850.00 (€ 39,995.59) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Arthur Devis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Thomas Bateman Lane (b. 1735), small full-length, in a grey suit with a blue waistcoat, holding a tricorn in his left hand, leaning on a tree stump, in a river landscape with the sea beyond, which sold at auction in June 2004 for GBP 53,775.00 (€ 80,033.31).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings - Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of William Trollop, small full-length, in a brown suit and a blue waistcoat, in an interior von Arthur Devis zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 34.850,00 (€ 39.995,59) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Arthur Devis mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Thomas Bateman Lane (b. 1735), small full-length, in a grey suit with a blue waistcoat, holding a tricorn in his left hand, leaning on a tree stump, in a river landscape with the sea beyond beobachtet, die im Juni 2004 für GBP 53.775,00 (€ 80.033,31) versteigert
