Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of Joseph Jean-Baptiste Fleuriau D’Armonville (1661-1728), Three-Quarter Length, Standing At A Desk by Hyacinthe Rigaud was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 200,000.00 (€ 180,293.88). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hyacinthe Rigaud - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of Pierre-Vincent Bertin (Circa1654 - 1711), which sold at auction in July 2008 for GBP 409,250.00 (€ 519,956.73).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Joseph Jean-Baptiste Fleuriau D’Armonville (1661-1728), Three-Quarter Length, Standing At A Desk von Hyacinthe Rigaud im Januar 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 200.000,00 (€ 180.293,88) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Hyacinthe Rigaud mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Of Pierre-Vincent Bertin (Circa1654 - 1711) beobachtet, die im Juli 2008 für GBP 409.250,00 (€ 519.956,73) versteigert wurde.
