Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of John Bond (1717-1784), Circa 1745 by André Rouquet was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,864.12). Admittedly, works by André Rouquet have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of John Bond (1717-1784), Circa 1745 von André Rouquet im Dezember 2019 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.864,12) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von André Rouquet auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
