Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Study of a woman in Egyptian dress by Henry James Holiday was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 875.00 (€ 1,034.15). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry James Holiday achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sara, belle d'indolence in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 55,000.00 (€ 61,439.90).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Study of a woman in Egyptian dress von Henry James Holiday im Dezember 2019 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 875,00 (€ 1.034,15) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry James Holiday erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sara, belle d'indolence im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 55.000,00 (€ 61.439,90).
