Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait Of Leo Tolstoy by Ilya Repin was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2018. The price achieved of GBP 514,000.00 (€ 579,776.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 400,000.00 – 600,000.00. Admittedly, works by Ilya Repin have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Parisian Café in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 4,521,250.00 (€ 5,001,922.73).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait Of Leo Tolstoy von Ilya Repin kam im November 2018 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 514.000,00 (€ 579.776,38) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ilya Repin auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A Parisian Café im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.521.250,00 (€ 5.001.922,73).
