A top price for Eugène Devéria
When the work Portrait Of Laurence Davidson And His Three Sons, Three-Quarter Length, Standing By Ruins, His Sons Seated Around Him, One Holding A Fishing Rod, The Other Holding A Cricket Bat by Eugène Devéria was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 18,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 88,900.00 (€ 106,932.91). This high result makes Portrait Of Laurence Davidson And His Three Sons, Three-Quarter Length, Standing By Ruins, His Sons Seated Around Him, One Holding A Fishing Rod, The Other Holding A Cricket Bat the most expensive artwork by Eugène Devéria that we have observed at auctions so far.

Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Laurence Davidson And His Three Sons, Three-Quarter Length, Standing By Ruins, His Sons Seated Around Him, One Holding A Fishing Rod, The Other Holding A Cricket Bat von Eugène Devéria im Dezember 2013 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches.
