A top price for John Wootton - as previously expected
In July 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale, which included the work A Hunting Party; Possibly Depicting Charles Spencer, 3Rd Duke Of Marlborough (1706-1758) And His Wife Elizabeth, Countess Of Marlborough (D.1761) by John Wootton. The price achieved of GBP 577,250.00 (€ 735,261.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500,000.00 – 700,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Hunting Party; Possibly Depicting Charles Spencer, 3Rd Duke Of Marlborough (1706-1758) And His Wife Elizabeth, Countess Of Marlborough (D.1761) is the most expensive artwork by John Wootton that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juli 2012 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Hunting Party; Possibly Depicting Charles Spencer, 3Rd Duke Of Marlborough (1706-1758) And His Wife Elizabeth, Countess Of Marlborough (D.1761) von John Wootton zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 577.250,00 (€ 735.261,35) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500.000,00 – 700.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A Hunting Party; Possibly Depicting Charles Spencer, 3Rd Duke Of Marlborough (1706-1758) And His Wife Elizabeth, Countess Of Marlborough (D.1761) das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Wootton, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
