Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Portrait Of A Lady, Probably Elizabeth Cobley by Richard Crosse was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 23,300.00 (€ 29,704.21). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Richard Crosse - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of John Crosse (1721-1776), The Artist'S Father, Circa 1770, which sold at auction in December 2019 for GBP 52,500.00 (€ 62,048.86).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady, Probably Elizabeth Cobley von Richard Crosse im April 2008 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 23.300,00 (€ 29.704,21) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Richard Crosse mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Of John Crosse (1721-1776), The Artist'S Father, Circa 1770 beobachtet, die im Dezember 2019 für GBP 52.500,00 (€ 62.048,86) versteigert wurde.
