Auction result well in line with expectations
In July last year Christies in London held the auction Old Master and British Works on Paper: Drawings, Watercolours and Prints 1500-1900, which included the work Still life with a yellow-throated euphonia, butterfly and red and white currants by Fedor Petrovich Tolstoi. The price achieved of GBP 4,788.00 (€ 5,717.72) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Admittedly, works by Fedor Petrovich Tolstoi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Countrussian Goosberrries, 1818 in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 44,200.00 (€ 28,391.57).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli letzten Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master and British Works on Paper: Drawings, Watercolours and Prints 1500-1900 durch, in der auch die Arbeit Still life with a yellow-throated euphonia, butterfly and red and white currants von Fedor Petrovich Tolstoi zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.788,00 (€ 5.717,72) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Fedor Petrovich Tolstoi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Countrussian Goosberrries, 1818 im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 44.200,00 (€ 28.391,57).
