This artwork by Félicie de Watteville achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2003. In the IMPORTANT GOLD BOXES,OBJECTS OF VERTU & PORTRAIT MINIATURES auction, the work A young lady, facing left in black velvet dress with lace-bordered white underdress, her black hair dresed in ringlets; foliate and sky background sold for GBP 2,270.50 (€ 3,262.83) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Félicie de Watteville achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Girl, Three-Quarter Length Seated On A Wooden Open Stool With Carved Wooden Heads And Black-Bordered Red Cushion, In White Silk Dress With White Sash, Holding Her Long Blue, Orange And Green Scarf In Her Hands And Draped Over Her Shoulders, Gem-Set in July 2005 with an auction result of GBP 24,000.00 (€ 3

Dieses Kunstwerk von Félicie de Watteville erzielte im Juni 2003 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion IMPORTANT GOLD BOXES,OBJECTS OF VERTU & PORTRAIT MINIATURES wurde die Arbeit A young lady, facing left in black velvet dress with lace-bordered white underdress, her black hair dresed in ringlets; foliate and sky background für GBP 2.270,50 (€ 3.262,83) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Félicie de Watteville erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Girl, Three-Quarter Length Seated On A Wooden Open Stool With Carved Wooden Heads And Black-Bordered Red Cushion, In White Silk Dress With White Sash, Holding Her Long Blue, Orange And Green Scarf In Her Hands And Draped Over Her Shoulders, Gem-Set im Juli 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 24.000,00 (€ 34.811,
