Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

The work Portrait Of A Lady, Traditionally Identified As Charlotte Juliane Ritt, Née Guise, The Artist'S Wife, Circa 1798 by Augustin Christian Ritt was worth GBP 15,000.00 (€ 16,919.54) to a buyer in November 2018. This price was achieved in the auction Russian Works of Art, Fabergé & Icons at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Augustin Christian Ritt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Prince Alexei Borisovich Kurakin (1759-1829) in November 2018 with an auction result of GBP 200,000.00 (€ 225,593.92).

Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Russian Works of Art, Fabergé & Icons bei Sothebys in London erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Augustin Christian Ritt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Prince Alexei Borisovich Kurakin (1759-1829) im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 200.000,00 (€ 225.593,92).
