Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of a young man, bust-length, in armour with a white sash by Gaspard Rigaud was auctioned at Bonhams in London in April last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,462.50 (€ 5,321.37) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gaspard Rigaud - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait D'Homme, which sold at auction in June 2005 for EUR 18,000.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of a young man, bust-length, in armour with a white sash von Gaspard Rigaud kam im April letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.462,50 (€ 5.321,37) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Gaspard Rigaud mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait D'Homme beobachtet, die im Juni 2005 für EUR 18.000,00 versteigert wurde.
