Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2003 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian Pictures, which included the work Portrait of a boy, seated full-length, in a blue dress and feathered hat, holding a hoop, in a landscape by Margaret Sarah Carpenter. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,465.00 (€ 4,497.47) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Margaret Sarah Carpenter 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 a young girl, thought to be Henrietta Carpenter, bust length, in oriental dress in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 32,450.00 (€ 39,017.47).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of a boy, seated full-length, in a blue dress and feathered hat, holding a hoop, in a landscape von Margaret Sarah Carpenter zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.465,00 (€ 4.497,47) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Margaret Sarah Carpenter auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait of a young girl, thought to be Henrietta Carpenter, bust length, in oriental dress im Juli 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 32.450,00 (€ 39.017,47).
