Important Old Master Pictures, Lot 93
8. JUL - 8. JUL 2005
Estimate: 15.000 - 20.000 GBP
Price realised: 21.600 GBP
Gérard de Lairesse (Liège 1640-1711 Amsterdam)
Paris and Oenone
signed and dated 'G. Lair... Ao 1668.' (lower right)
oil on panel
22 1/8 x 25 1/8 in. (56.1 x 63.7 cm.)

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In July 2005 Christies in London held the auction Important Old Master Pictures, which included the work Paris and Oenone by Gerard de Lairesse. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 21,600.00 (€ 31,330.60). 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Juli 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion Important Old Master Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Paris and Oenone von Gerard de Lairesse zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 20.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 21.600,00 (€ 31.330,60) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
