Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work A young lady, facing left in white muslin dress and fichu stole, drop coral earrings, long embroidered lace veil in her curling dark hair by Frédéric Dubois was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2003, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 3,346.00 (€ 4,808.38). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frédéric Dubois - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work General Petr (Varfolomei) Andreevich Kikin (1775-1834), in military uniform of black coat with gold-embroidered red collar and gold epaulettes, wearing orders including the red sash and breast-star of the Imperial Russian Order of St. Alexander Nevsk, which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 9,375.00 (€ 13,127.4
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A young lady, facing left in white muslin dress and fichu stole, drop coral earrings, long embroidered lace veil in her curling dark hair von Frédéric Dubois im Juni 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.346,00 (€ 4.808,38) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Frédéric Dubois mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit General Petr (Varfolomei) Andreevich Kikin (1775-1834), in military uniform of black coat with gold-embroidered red collar and gold epaulettes, wearing orders including the red sash and breast-star of the Imperial Russian Order of St. Alexander Nevsk beobachtet, die im November 2007 für GBP 9.3
