Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by John Singleton Copley could be acquired at Christies in London in June 2004 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British Pictures (1500-1850) auction, the work Portrait of Henry Belasyse, 2nd Earl Fauconberg (1743-1802), half-length, in uniform, in a landscape changed hands for GBP 23,900.00 (€ 35,570.36) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 25,000.00 – 40,000.00. Admittedly, works by John Singleton Copley 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 James Tilley (1707-1765) in January 2006 with an auction result of USD 374,400.00 (€ 307,945.39).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von John Singleton Copley konnte im Juni 2004 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British Pictures (1500-1850) wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of Henry Belasyse, 2nd Earl Fauconberg (1743-1802), half-length, in uniform, in a landscape für GBP 23.900,00 (€ 35.570,36) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 25.000,00 – 40.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Singleton Copley auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait of James Tilley (1707-1765) im Januar 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 374.400,00 (€ 307.945,39).
