Auction result misses estimated price range

In July 2020 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait Of King George Ii (1683-1760) by Gervase Spencer for GBP 937.00 (€ 1,045.15). This price was achieved in the auction The Collection of a Connoisseur at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Gervase Spencer have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait Of A Young Boy, Circa 1750 in May 2020 with an auction result of GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,632.01).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Juli 2020 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait Of King George Ii (1683-1760) von Gervase Spencer für GBP 937,00 (€ 1.045,15) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Collection of a Connoisseur bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Gervase Spencer auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait Of A Young Boy, Circa 1750 im Mai 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.875,00 (€ 7.632,01).
