A top price for François Théodore Rochard

When the work A young child, facing right in pale brown coat and cream coloured collar, wearing a black hat with a red flower by François Théodore Rochard was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2001, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 1,880.00 (€ 3,061.44). This high result makes A young child, facing right in pale brown coat and cream coloured collar, wearing a black hat with a red flower the most expensive artwork by François Théodore Rochard that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für François Théodore Rochard

Als die Arbeit A young child, facing right in pale brown coat and cream coloured collar, wearing a black hat with a red flower von François Théodore Rochard im Juli 2001 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 600,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 1.880,00 (€ 3.061,44) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A young child, facing right in pale brown coat and cream coloured collar, wearing a black hat with a red flower zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von François Théodore Rochard, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
