Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Tête du Génie de la Patrie (The Head of the Genius of Liberty) by François Rude was sold in the Collection Jacques Ginepro, Une Vie de Sculptures auction at Sothebys in Paris in May last year. The price achieved of EUR 2,268.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Admittedly, works by François Rude have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait D'Auguste Mugnier in November 2008 with an auction result of EUR 17,851.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Tête du Génie de la Patrie (The Head of the Genius of Liberty) von François Rude wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion Collection Jacques Ginepro, Une Vie de Sculptures bei Sothebys in Paris versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 2.268,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von François Rude auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait D'Auguste Mugnier im November 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 17.851,00.
