Upper estimate price exceeded by 42 %.

The work The Plague at Ashdod by Guillaume Courtois was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2008. It achieved a price of GBP 8,500.00 (€ 10,834.45), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 42%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Guillaume Courtois achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ceres At A Fountain, Attended By Putti in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 163,250.00 (€ 201,332.59).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 42 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit The Plague at Ashdod von Guillaume Courtois kam im Oktober 2008 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 8.500,00 (€ 10.834,45) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 42%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Guillaume Courtois erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ceres At A Fountain, Attended By Putti im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 163.250,00 (€ 201.332,59).
