Upper estimate price exceeded by 41 %.

The work A young gentleman called Robert Bale Seur, standing in profile, in a coat and trousers holding a flower in his left hand; landscape background by Augustin Amant Constant Fidèle Edouart was sold in the Objects of Vertu and Portrait Miniatures auction at Christies in London in October 2002. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 705.00 (€ 1,115.19), 41% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Augustin Amant Constant Fidèle Edouart achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Album Of Silhouettes Of ‘Irish Characters' in July 2014 with an auction result of GBP 32,500.00 (€ 40,992.72).

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 705,00 (€ 1.115,19) und damit 41% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Augustin Amant Constant Fidèle Edouart erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An Album Of Silhouettes Of ‘Irish Characters' im Juli 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 32.500,00 (€ 40.992,72).
