Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Joshua Iremonger, half-length, in a brown coat by Benjamin West was sold in the Old Master Paintings auction at Bonhams in December last year. The price achieved of GBP 12,750.00 (€ 14,393.51) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Benjamin West achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Prince William (1776-1834), Later 2Nd Duke Of Gloucester And Edinburgh, And His Elder Sister, Princess Sophia (1773-1844) Of Gloucester in July 2013 with an auction result of GBP 578,500.00 (€ 661,037.08).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of Joshua Iremonger, half-length, in a brown coat von Benjamin West wurde im Dezember letzten Jahres in der Auktion Old Master Paintings bei Bonhams versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.750,00 (€ 14.393,51) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Benjamin West erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Prince William (1776-1834), Later 2Nd Duke Of Gloucester And Edinburgh, And His Elder Sister, Princess Sophia (1773-1844) Of Gloucester im Juli 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 578.500,00 (€ 661.037,08).
