Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Studies of two girls: one seen from behind looking over her right shoulder, the other seated, holding a basket by Antoine Watteau was sold in the Old Master and 19th Century Drawings auction at Christies in London in July 2008. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 60,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 63,650.00 (€ 80,868.04). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Antoine Watteau achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le Pèlerinage a l’Ile de Cythère in January this year with an auction result of USD 1,860,000.00 (€ 1,713,022.66).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Studies of two girls: one seen from behind looking over her right shoulder, the other seated, holding a basket von Antoine Watteau wurde im Juli 2008 in der Auktion Old Master and 19th Century Drawings bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 60.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 63.650,00 (€ 80.868,04) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Antoine Watteau erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Le Pèlerinage a l’Ile de Cythère im Januar diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.860.000,00 (€ 1.713.022,66).
