Sold at the lower estimate price
In July 2018 Christies in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work Head study of a lady by Thomas Lawrence. The result of GBP 150,000.00 (€ 168,182.98) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Lawrence achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Arthur Wellesley, 1St Duke of Wellington, K.G., K.B., M.P. (1769-1852), Bust-Length, In Civilian Clothes With A Military Cloak, Wearing The Insignia of The Order of The Golden Fleece in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 2,080,000.00 (€ 3,088,865.09).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Juli 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Head study of a lady von Thomas Lawrence zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 150.000,00 (€ 168.182,98) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 150.000,00 – 250.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Lawrence erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Arthur Wellesley, 1St Duke of Wellington, K.G., K.B., M.P. (1769-1852), Bust-Length, In Civilian Clothes With A Military Cloak, Wearing The Insignia of The Order of The Golden Fleece im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.080.000,00 (€ 3.088.865,09).
