A top price for John Wollaston - as previously expected

The work A Portrait of a Lady by John Wollaston was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2006. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 5,400.00 (€ 4,441.52) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Portrait of a Lady is the most expensive artwork by John Wollaston that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit A Portrait of a Lady von John Wollaston kam im Januar 2006 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 5.400,00 (€ 4.441,52) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A Portrait of a Lady das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Wollaston, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
