A top price for Henri Ippolitovich Semiradsky - as previously expected

The work Un Naufragé Mendiant by Henri Ippolitovich Semiradsky was sold in the Important Russian Art auction at Sothebys in London in November 2013. The price achieved of GBP 1,082,500.00 (€ 1,302,643.87) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000,000.00 – 1,300,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Un Naufragé Mendiant is the most expensive artwork by Henri Ippolitovich Semiradsky that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Un Naufragé Mendiant von Henri Ippolitovich Semiradsky wurde im November 2013 in der Auktion Important Russian Art bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.082.500,00 (€ 1.302.643,87) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000.000,00 – 1.300.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Un Naufragé Mendiant das teuerste Kunstwerk von Henri Ippolitovich Semiradsky, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
