Auction result misses estimated price range
In July 2016 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait Of Anne Blair Maconochie Welwood Of Garvock, Lady Meadowbank (1784–1866), Half-Length, Wearing A Brown And White Dress, With Pearl Earrings And Necklace by Henry Raeburn for GBP 18,750.00 (€ 22,279.06). This price was achieved in the auction Old Masters Day Sale at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Raeburn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Sir Evan Murray-MacGregor of MacGregor, 2nd Bt., K.C.B., K.C.H., 19th Chief of Clan Gregor, as a boy (1785-1841), full-length, in tartan, in a landscape in July 2014 with an auction result of GBP 458,500.00 (€ 578,312.66).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juli 2016 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait Of Anne Blair Maconochie Welwood Of Garvock, Lady Meadowbank (1784–1866), Half-Length, Wearing A Brown And White Dress, With Pearl Earrings And Necklace von Henry Raeburn für GBP 18.750,00 (€ 22.279,06) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Masters Day Sale bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Raeburn erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Sir Evan Murray-MacGregor of MacGregor, 2nd Bt., K.C.B., K.C.H., 19th Chief of Clan Gregor, as a boy (1785-1841), full-length, in tartan, in a landscape im Juli 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 458.500,00 (€ 578.312,66).
