Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Henry Richard Vassall-Fox, 3rd Baron Holland (1773-1840), half-length, seated in a blue coat and yellow waistcoat by François-Xavier Fabre was sold in the Old Master and British Paintings Day Sale auction at Christies in London in July 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 32,500.00 (€ 38,617.03) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by François-Xavier Fabre 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 Of Edgar Clarke, Full-Length, In A Forest in June 2007 with an auction result of USD 336,000.00 (€ 248,520.71).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of Henry Richard Vassall-Fox, 3rd Baron Holland (1773-1840), half-length, seated in a blue coat and yellow waistcoat von François-Xavier Fabre wurde im Juli 2016 in der Auktion Old Master and British Paintings Day Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 32.500,00 (€ 38.617,03) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von François-Xavier Fabre auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait Of Edgar Clarke, Full-Length, In A Forest im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 336.000,00 (€ 248.520,71).
