Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2000 Christies in London held the auction Miniatures, which included the work A fine miniature of Madame Charles Lefranc, facing right in purple silk dress with lace cuffs and white-bordered gauze scarf tied at corsage, purple ribbon in her high-piled powdered curled hair; seated in a wooden chair with green cushion at her eas by Adélaïde Labille-Guiard. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 14,100.00 (€ 22,625.30), 18% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Adélaïde Labille-Guiard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of The Duchesse D'Aiguillon (1770-1814) in June 2018 with an auction result of EUR 657,000.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion Miniatures durch, in der auch die Arbeit A fine miniature of Madame Charles Lefranc, facing right in purple silk dress with lace cuffs and white-bordered gauze scarf tied at corsage, purple ribbon in her high-piled powdered curled hair; seated in a wooden chair with green cushion at her eas von Adélaïde Labille-Guiard zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 14.100,00 (€ 22.625,30) und damit 18% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Adélaïde Labille-Guiard erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of The Duchesse D'Aiguillon (1770-1814) im Juni 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 657.000,00.
