Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.
The work Portrait Of Sir William Molesworth, 6Th Bt. (1758-1798), Half-Length, In A Red Coat With A Black Collar, In A Feigned Oval by Gilbert Stuart was auctioned at Christies in June 2021. It achieved a price of GBP 20,000.00 (€ 23,305.20), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 67%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gilbert Stuart achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work George Washington (Vaughan type) in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 11,562,500.00 (€ 9,907,883.46).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
