Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Lemuel Francis Abbott could be acquired at Christies in London in June 2000 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British Pictures auction, the work Portrait of John Grant of Kilgraston (d.1793), full-length, seated, in black gown with white bands, a letter in his left hand, his right hand resting on a table changed hands for GBP 4,935.00 (€ 7,822.58) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lemuel Francis Abbott achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Horatio, Viscount Nelson, KB, Vice-Admiral of the White, half-length, in naval uniform -- The Kilgraston sketch, 1797 in October 2005 with an auction result of GBP 164,800.00 (€ 243,030.20).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Lemuel Francis Abbott konnte im Juni 2000 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British Pictures wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of John Grant of Kilgraston (d.1793), full-length, seated, in black gown with white bands, a letter in his left hand, his right hand resting on a table für GBP 4.935,00 (€ 7.822,58) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lemuel Francis Abbott erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Horatio, Viscount Nelson, KB, Vice-Admiral of the White, half-length, in naval uniform -- The Kilgraston sketch, 1797 im Oktober 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 164.800,00 (€ 243.030,20).
