Upper estimate price exceeded by 36 %.
The work Portrait Of A Lady, Circa 1790 by François Dumont was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2019. It achieved a price of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,215.18), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 36%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by François Dumont achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Queen Marie-Antoinette (1755-1793), facing right in gold-bordered white satin dress with gold-bordered blue sash, white-bordered pale blue muslin scarf tied in her long curled powdered hair in November 2001 with an auction result of GBP 69,750.00 (€ 110,994.22).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 36 % übertroffen

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.215,18) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 36%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von François Dumont erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Queen Marie-Antoinette (1755-1793), facing right in gold-bordered white satin dress with gold-bordered blue sash, white-bordered pale blue muslin scarf tied in her long curled powdered hair im November 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 69.750,00 (€ 110.994,22).
