Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2001 Christies in London held the auction Important Portrait Miniatures including works from the, which included the work Lady Seaforth (née Mary Proby), seated in a red upholstered chair, in black dress with triple lace collar, sprigged lace bordered white bonnet tied with striped green ribbons in her dark curling hair by François Théodore Rochard. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 646.25 (€ 1,028.39) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by François Théodore Rochard - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A young child, facing right in pale brown coat and cream coloured collar, wearing a black hat with a red flower, which sold at auction in July 2001 for GBP 1,880.00 (€ 3,061.44).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion Important Portrait Miniatures including works from the durch, in der auch die Arbeit Lady Seaforth (née Mary Proby), seated in a red upholstered chair, in black dress with triple lace collar, sprigged lace bordered white bonnet tied with striped green ribbons in her dark curling hair von François Théodore Rochard zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 646,25 (€ 1.028,39) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von François Théodore Rochard mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A young child, facing right in pale brown coat and cream coloured collar, wearing a black hat with a red flower beobachtet, die im Juli 2001
