This artwork by Ozias Humphry achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2009. In the Centuries of Style: Silver, European Ceramics, Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes auction, the work Unknown sold for GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,009.52) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ozias Humphry achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Sahibzada (C. 1782 - C. 1817), In Orange And White Robe, Wearing A Blue Nawabi Turban, Seated Cross-Legged On A Gold Striped Purple Cushion; Column Background in November 2013 with an auction result of GBP 56,250.00 (€ 67,689.35).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 83 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ozias Humphry erzielte im November 2009 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Centuries of Style: Silver, European Ceramics, Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes wurde die Arbeit Unknown für GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.009,52) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ozias Humphry erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Sahibzada (C. 1782 - C. 1817), In Orange And White Robe, Wearing A Blue Nawabi Turban, Seated Cross-Legged On A Gold Striped Purple Cushion; Column Background im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 56.250,00 (€ 67.689,35).
