Portrait of Elizabeth Clara Bromley
oil on panel, in a painted oval
9 x 6¾ in. (22.8 x 17.1 cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Portrait of Elizabeth Clara Bromley by Ford Madox Brown was sold in the Victorian & British Impressionist Pictures Including Drawings and Watercolours auction at Christies in London in December 2010. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 11,250.00 (€ 13,049.97) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ford Madox Brown achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Last Of England in November 2004 with an auction result of GBP 206,850.00 (€ 297,552.61).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Portrait of Elizabeth Clara Bromley von Ford Madox Brown wurde im Dezember 2010 in der Auktion Victorian & British Impressionist Pictures Including Drawings and Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 11.250,00 (€ 13.049,97) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ford Madox Brown erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Last Of England im November 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 206.850,00 (€ 297.552,61).
