Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Franz Xaver Winterhalter achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2011. In the 19th Century European Art Including Orientalist Art auction, the work Portrait Of Czarina Maria Feodorovna And Her Sister Alexandra, Princess Of Wales sold for GBP 73,250.00 (€ 81,037.51) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Franz Xaver Winterhalter achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Queen Olga of Württemberg, Grand Duchess of Russia in June 2006 with an auction result of GBP 1,072,000.00 (€ 1,551,166.13).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Franz Xaver Winterhalter erzielte im Juni 2011 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 19th Century European Art Including Orientalist Art wurde die Arbeit Portrait Of Czarina Maria Feodorovna And Her Sister Alexandra, Princess Of Wales für GBP 73.250,00 (€ 81.037,51) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 25.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Franz Xaver Winterhalter erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Queen Olga of Württemberg, Grand Duchess of Russia im Juni 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.072.000,00 (€ 1.551.166,13).
