Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait Of John Henry Petty, Earl Wycombe, Later 2Nd Marquess Of Lansdowne (1765-1809) by François-Xavier Fabre was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale auction at Sothebys in London in July 2013. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 40,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 31,250.00 (€ 35,708.57) 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 John Henry Petty, Earl Wycombe, Later 2Nd Marquess Of Lansdowne (1765-1809) von François-Xavier Fabre wurde im Juli 2013 in der Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 31.250,00 (€ 35.708,57) 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).
