A top price for Georg Desmarées - as previously expected
The work Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a red velvet mantle, wearing a wig by Georg Desmarées was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2006. The price achieved of GBP 12,000.00 (€ 17,809.50) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a red velvet mantle, wearing a wig is the most expensive artwork by Georg Desmarées that we have observed at auctions so far.
