Upper estimate price exceeded by 34 %.
In May 2002 Christies in London held the auction IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU, which included the work A mother with her child at her breast; the mother, seated, facing left in orange dress revealing her right breast, white bordered blue scarf around her shoulders, red ribbon in her curling hair, holding her child on her lap, in white dress, white soc by Jacques Antoine Marie Lemoine. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,075.50 (€ 1,684.25), 34% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jacques Antoine Marie Lemoine achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Elisabeth-Louise Vigée-Lebrun reading a letter seated in a garden in January 2001 with an auction result of USD 25,850.00 (€ 27,771.81).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 34 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU durch, in der auch die Arbeit A mother with her child at her breast; the mother, seated, facing left in orange dress revealing her right breast, white bordered blue scarf around her shoulders, red ribbon in her curling hair, holding her child on her lap, in white dress, white soc von Jacques Antoine Marie Lemoine zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.075,50 (€ 1.684,25) und damit 34% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jacques Antoine Marie Lemoine erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Elisabeth-Louise Vigée-Lebrun reading a letter seated in a garden im Januar 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 25.850,00 (€ 27.771,81).
