Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Comtesse du Barry holding a woven basket of pink roses by François-Hubert Drouais was sold in the Old Master Paintings Part II auction at Bonhams in London in July 2020. The price achieved of GBP 20,062.50 (€ 22,378.19) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 18,000.00 – 25,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of Comtesse du Barry holding a woven basket of pink roses von François-Hubert Drouais wurde im Juli 2020 in der Auktion Old Master Paintings Part II bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 20.062,50 (€ 22.378,19) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 18.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
