Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A young man reclining on a bank beneath a tree, possibly a self-portrait by Thomas Gainsborough was auctioned at Christies in London in July this year. The price achieved of GBP 176,400.00 (€ 205,805.34) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Gainsborough achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Going To Market, Early Morning in July 2019 with an auction result of GBP 7,961,000.00 (€ 8,740,648.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A young man reclining on a bank beneath a tree, possibly a self-portrait von Thomas Gainsborough kam im Juli diesen Jahres bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 176.400,00 (€ 205.805,34) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 150.000,00 – 250.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Gainsborough erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Going To Market, Early Morning im Juli 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.961.000,00 (€ 8.740.648,70).
