Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Joshua Reynolds achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in February 2020. In the Old Masters Online auction, the work Portrait Of A Lady, Probably Miss Jane Ashton, Half Length, In A Blue Dress With White Lace Cuffs sold for USD 62,500.00 (€ 56,689.34) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joshua Reynolds achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Lady Frances Marsham, later Countess of Romney (1755-1795), full-length, in a yellow dress and pink shawl, in a park landscape in July 2014 with an auction result of GBP 4,786,500.00 (€ 6,037,281.44).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Joshua Reynolds erzielte im Februar 2020 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters Online wurde die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady, Probably Miss Jane Ashton, Half Length, In A Blue Dress With White Lace Cuffs für USD 62.500,00 (€ 56.689,34) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joshua Reynolds erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Lady Frances Marsham, later Countess of Romney (1755-1795), full-length, in a yellow dress and pink shawl, in a park landscape im Juli 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.786.500,00 (€ 6.037.281,44).
