Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work The Archery Lesson by François Rude was sold in the Victorian & Traditionalist Pictures auction at Christies in London in June 2007. It achieved a price of GBP 3,600.00 (€ 5,342.22), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by François Rude - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait D'Auguste Mugnier, which sold at auction in November 2008 for EUR 17,851.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
