Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of John Sims, half-length, seated at a writing table, a letter in his left hand by Lemuel Francis Abbott was sold in the Old Masters & British Paintings auction at Christies in London in October 2013. It changed hands for a price of GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,250.48) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of John Sims, half-length, seated at a writing table, a letter in his left hand von Lemuel Francis Abbott wurde im Oktober 2013 in der Auktion Old Masters & British Paintings bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.250,48) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. 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).
