Sold at the lower estimate price
The work A Boy Playing With A House Of Cards, On A Gilt Upholstered Footstool by François-Hubert Drouais was sold in the Master Paintings auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2018. The result of USD 50,000.00 (€ 42,844.90) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by François-Hubert Drouais achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Children Of The Duc De Bouillon Dressed As Montagnards; One Playing A Hurdy-Gurdy, The Other Playing With A Marmot On A Ribbon in January 2008 with an auction result of USD 1,217,000.00 (€ 820,025.60).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit A Boy Playing With A House Of Cards, On A Gilt Upholstered Footstool von François-Hubert Drouais wurde im Mai 2018 in der Auktion Master Paintings bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 42.844,90) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von François-Hubert Drouais erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Children Of The Duc De Bouillon Dressed As Montagnards; One Playing A Hurdy-Gurdy, The Other Playing With A Marmot On A Ribbon im Januar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.217.000,00 (€ 820.025,60).
