Upper estimate price exceeded by 36 %.
The work A Young Lady, In Lace-Bordered Grey Silk Dress, Blue Silk Cloak Draped Over Her Right Shoulder, Gold Brooch Pinned At Corsage, White Flowers And Foliage In Her Long Curled Hair by André Rouquet was sold in the Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes auction at Christies in London in June 2007. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,040.00 (€ 3,027.26), 36% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by André Rouquet achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Superb Miniature of A Young Nobleman In Silver-Embroidered Scarlet Coat And Cream Waistcoat, With Purple Sash, Wearing A White Bordered Black Tricorn Hat With Black Feathers On His Curly Powdered Wig in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 24,000.00 (€ 35,640.75).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 36 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit A Young Lady, In Lace-Bordered Grey Silk Dress, Blue Silk Cloak Draped Over Her Right Shoulder, Gold Brooch Pinned At Corsage, White Flowers And Foliage In Her Long Curled Hair von André Rouquet wurde im Juni 2007 in der Auktion Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.040,00 (€ 3.027,26) und damit 36% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von André Rouquet erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Superb Miniature of A Young Nobleman In Silver-Embroidered Scarlet Coat And Cream Waistcoat, With Purple Sash, Wearing A White Bordered Black Tricorn Hat With Black Feathers On His Curly Powdered Wig im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 24.000,00 (€ 35.640,75).
