Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work French a Game Of Cards by Ferdinand Roybet was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 22,500.00 (€ 18,910.74). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ferdinand Roybet achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tambourine Girl in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 276,800.00 (€ 410,235.08).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit French a Game Of Cards von Ferdinand Roybet im November 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 22.500,00 (€ 18.910,74) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ferdinand Roybet erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tambourine Girl im Juni 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 276.800,00 (€ 410.235,08).
