Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Stephen Catterson Smith could be acquired at Christies in London in May 2003 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Irish Sale auction, the work Portrait of Sir Richard John Griffith, 1st Bt., (1784-1878), three-quarter-length, seated, in a black frock coat and white shirt, his left arm resting on a book, holding a geological map of Ireland in his right hand, in an interior changed hands for GBP 1,792.50 (€ 2,497.40) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Stephen Catterson Smith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Marianne Gage, full-length, seated on a red cloak trimmed with ermine, feeding a dog in a wooded mountain landscape in May 2004 with an auction result of GBP 19,717.50 (€ 29,583.51).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Stephen Catterson Smith konnte im Mai 2003 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Irish Sale wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of Sir Richard John Griffith, 1st Bt., (1784-1878), three-quarter-length, seated, in a black frock coat and white shirt, his left arm resting on a book, holding a geological map of Ireland in his right hand, in an interior für GBP 1.792,50 (€ 2.497,40) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Stephen Catterson Smith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Marianne Gage, full-length, seated on a red cloak trimmed with ermine, feeding a dog in a wooded mountain landscape im Mai 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 19.717,50 (€ 29.583,51).
