Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Study of Imam Shamil (1797-1871) for 'The surrender of aul Gunib and imprisonment of Imam Shamil on 25 August 1859' by Franz Roubaud was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 93,750.00 (€ 106,420.20). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Franz Roubaud - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cossacks Crossing The River, which sold at auction in June 2007 for GBP 168,500.00 (€ 250,045.53).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Study of Imam Shamil (1797-1871) for 'The surrender of aul Gunib and imprisonment of Imam Shamil on 25 August 1859' von Franz Roubaud im November 2017 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 93.750,00 (€ 106.420,20) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Franz Roubaud mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Cossacks Crossing The River beobachtet, die im Juni 2007 für GBP 168.500,00 (€ 250.045,53) versteigert wurde.
