Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by John James Masquerier could be acquired at Christies in London in October 2007 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master & British Pictures auction, the work Portrait of a young boy, three-quarter-length, in school uniform, holding a black hat in his left hand, in a landscape changed hands for GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,590.16) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Admittedly, works by John James Masquerier 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 Maria Vicenta Solís Lasso De La Vega, Duchess Of Fernán-Nuñez (B. 1780), Full-Length, Reclining On A Chaise Longue in May 2020 with an auction result of GBP 23,750.00 (€ 26,365.11).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von John James Masquerier konnte im Oktober 2007 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master & British Pictures wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of a young boy, three-quarter-length, in school uniform, holding a black hat in his left hand, in a landscape für GBP 2.500,00 (€ 3.590,16) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John James Masquerier auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait Of Maria Vicenta Solís Lasso De La Vega, Duchess Of Fernán-Nuñez (B. 1780), Full-Length, Reclining On A Chaise Longue im Mai 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 23.750,00 (€ 26.365,11).
