Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Antoinette de Rochechouart de Mortemart (1893-1972) In An Off-The-Shoulder White Dress With Lace Collar, Fair Curled Shoulder-Length Hair; Sky Background by Cécile Villeneuve was sold in the IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES AND OBJECTS OF VERTU auction at Christies in London in July 2005. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 6,600.00 (€ 9,573.24). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cécile Villeneuve - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Vicomtesse Geoffroy de Ruillé, in black dress with white lace underdress, pink rose and foliage at corsage, globular gold bell suspended on a black ribbon choker, pink rose and foliage and black lace veil falling from her upswept blond hair, which sold at auction in May 2004 for GBP 16,730.00 (€ 25,101.16).
