Auction result well in line with expectations
In February 2024 Christies in New York held the auction Old Master & British Drawings, which included the work Study of a nude male by Bernard Picart. The price achieved of USD 3,528.00 (€ 3,083.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bernard Picart - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An Allegorical Frontispiece, Perhaps A Reflection On Human Frailty, which sold at auction in July 2013 for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,855.89).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar 2024 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Master & British Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study of a nude male von Bernard Picart zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.528,00 (€ 3.083,38) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Bernard Picart mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit An Allegorical Frontispiece, Perhaps A Reflection On Human Frailty beobachtet, die im Juli 2013 für GBP 6.875,00 (€ 7.855,89) versteigert wurde.
