Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait Of The Hon Mildmay Fane (1689-1715) by Alexis-Simon Belle was sold in the Important British Paintings auction at Sothebys in London in June 2008. The price achieved of GBP 23,750.00 (€ 30,020.80) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alexis-Simon Belle - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait du prince Jacques François Edward Stuart, which sold at auction in November last year for EUR 104,960.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Für andere Arbeiten von Alexis-Simon Belle mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait du prince Jacques François Edward Stuart beobachtet, die im November letzten Jahres für EUR 104.960,00 versteigert wurde.
