In December 2014 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale, which included the work Portrait Of Peregrine Bertie, 13Th Lord Willoughby De Eresby (1555-1601), Full-Length, In A Black Doublet And Pantaloons, Wearing Damascened Armour, In A Wooded River Landscape By A Waterfall, With A Bridge And A Castle Beyond by Francis Hayman. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 42,500.00 (€ 54,711.59), 70% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francis Hayman - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Joseph Henry of Straffan, Co. Kildare, full-length, seated at a table writing a letter, in a blue coat, yellow waistcoat and red breeches, beside a bookcase, which sold at auction in May 2001 for GBP 69,750.00 (€ 116,937.46).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 70 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of Peregrine Bertie, 13Th Lord Willoughby De Eresby (1555-1601), Full-Length, In A Black Doublet And Pantaloons, Wearing Damascened Armour, In A Wooded River Landscape By A Waterfall, With A Bridge And A Castle Beyond von Francis Hayman zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 42.500,00 (€ 54.711,59) und damit 70% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Francis Hayman mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Joseph Henry of Straffan, Co. Kildare, full-length, seated at a table writing a letter, in a blue coat, yellow waistcoat and red breeches, beside a bookcase beobachtet, die im Mai 2001 für GBP 69.750,00 (€ 116.937,46) versteigert wurde.
