A top price for Alfred Jonniaux
When the work Portrait of Maharani Indira Devi of Cooch Behar by Alfred Jonniaux was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 87,500.00 (€ 101,493.72). This high result makes Portrait of Maharani Indira Devi of Cooch Behar the most expensive artwork by Alfred Jonniaux that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Alfred Jonniaux
Als die Arbeit Portrait of Maharani Indira Devi of Cooch Behar von Alfred Jonniaux im Oktober 2019 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 87.500,00 (€ 101.493,72) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Portrait of Maharani Indira Devi of Cooch Behar zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Alfred Jonniaux, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
