Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait of Achille Deban de Laborde (1808-1888), later Baron Dedeban de Laborde, full-length, with the medal of the Légion d'honneur by Alexandre-Jean Dubois-Drahonet was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 70,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 295,500.00 (€ 271,225.33). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Alexandre-Jean Dubois-Drahonet; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portrait of Frances Anne Vane, Marchioness of Londonderry (1800-1865), full-length, in peeress's robes decorated with jewels and a tiara, inside Westminster Abbey sold at auction in May 2014 with the realized price of GBP 314,500.00 (€ 386,530.65).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait of Achille Deban de Laborde (1808-1888), later Baron Dedeban de Laborde, full-length, with the medal of the Légion d'honneur von Alexandre-Jean Dubois-Drahonet im April 2017 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 70.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 295.500,00 (€ 271.225,33) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Alexandre-Jean Dubois-Drahonet; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Portrait of Frances Anne Vane, Marchioness of Londonderry (1800-1865), full-length, in peeress's robes decorated with jewels and a tiara, inside Westminster Abbey im Mai 2014 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 314.500,00 (€ 386.530,65).
