This artwork by Antoine Coypel achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in June 2007. In the Important Old Master Paintings and European Works of Art Including Property of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery auction, the work Portrait Of Mohammed Reza Bey, Persian Ambassador To France, During The Reign Of Louis Xiv sold for USD 57,000.00 (€ 42,159.76) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Antoine Coypel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Allegory Of Music (A Portrait Of Mme. De Maintenon With The Natural Children Of Louis Xiv) in January 2015 with an auction result of USD 1,565,000.00 (€ 1,386,182.46).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 90 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Antoine Coypel erzielte im Juni 2007 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Important Old Master Paintings and European Works of Art Including Property of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery wurde die Arbeit Portrait Of Mohammed Reza Bey, Persian Ambassador To France, During The Reign Of Louis Xiv für USD 57.000,00 (€ 42.159,76) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Antoine Coypel erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Allegory Of Music (A Portrait Of Mme. De Maintenon With The Natural Children Of Louis Xiv) im Januar 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.565.000,00 (€ 1.386.182,46).
