Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
In February this year Christies in London held the auction An Opulent Aesthetic: An Important Private Collection from an English Country House, which included the work Portrait of a lady, traditionally identified as Mrs. Elizabeth Sheridan (1754-1792), half-length, in a pink dress and gold embroidered sash, in a feigned oval by Joshua Reynolds. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 119,700.00 (€ 136,533.87), 50% above the upper estimate. 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 50 % übertroffen
Im Februar diesen Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion An Opulent Aesthetic: An Important Private Collection from an English Country House durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of a lady, traditionally identified as Mrs. Elizabeth Sheridan (1754-1792), half-length, in a pink dress and gold embroidered sash, in a feigned oval von Joshua Reynolds zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 119.700,00 (€ 136.533,87) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
