Georges Desmarées (Gimo, Sweden 1697 - 1776 Munich)
Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a red velvet mantle, wearing a wig
oil on canvas, unlined
36¾ x 27 1/8 in. (93.3 x 68.9 cm.)

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.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a red velvet mantle, wearing a wig von Georg Desmarées kam im Dezember 2006 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.000,00 (€ 17.809,50) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a red velvet mantle, wearing a wig das teuerste Kunstwerk von Georg Desmarées, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
