This artwork by François Dumont achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in December 2019. In the The Pohl-Ströher Collection of Portrait Miniatures, Part III auction, the work Portrait Of A Lady Holding A Young Spaniel, Circa 1780 sold for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,204.89) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. 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 75 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von François Dumont erzielte im Dezember 2019 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Pohl-Ströher Collection of Portrait Miniatures, Part III wurde die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady Holding A Young Spaniel, Circa 1780 für GBP 5.250,00 (€ 6.204,89) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00. 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).
