Upper estimate price exceeded by 75 %.
This artwork by Gerard de Lairesse achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2011. In the Old Master and British Paintings Day Sale auction, the work A Sacrifice To Pales sold for GBP 26,250.00 (€ 30,125.80) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gerard de Lairesse achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Marriage of Peleus and Thetis in January this year with an auction result of USD 819,000.00 (€ 754,282.56).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Gerard de Lairesse erzielte im Juli 2011 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master and British Paintings Day Sale wurde die Arbeit A Sacrifice To Pales für GBP 26.250,00 (€ 30.125,80) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gerard de Lairesse erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Marriage of Peleus and Thetis im Januar diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 819.000,00 (€ 754.282,56).
