Auction result misses estimated price range

In April 2018 a collector was able to acquire the work Studies Of A Lion  by Alexandre-François Desportes for USD 2,375.00 (€ 1,967.04). This price was achieved in the auction Old Masters Online at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 4,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alexandre-François Desportes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Chien Devant Un Trophée De Chasse in March 2015 with an auction result of EUR 339,000.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im April 2018 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Studies Of A Lion  von Alexandre-François Desportes für USD 2.375,00 (€ 1.967,04) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Masters Online bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 4.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alexandre-François Desportes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Chien Devant Un Trophée De Chasse im März 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 339.000,00.
