Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Swissan Equestrienne On A Grey Hunter Accompanied By Her Spaniel In A River Landscape (Possibly A Member Of The Powles Family) by Jacques-Laurent Agasse was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2016, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 300,000.00 – 500,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 162,500.00 (€ 150,018.46). Admittedly, works by Jacques-Laurent Agasse have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Dash, a setter in a wooded landscape in July 2011 with an auction result of GBP 825,250.00 (€ 947,097.83).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Swissan Equestrienne On A Grey Hunter Accompanied By Her Spaniel In A River Landscape (Possibly A Member Of The Powles Family) von Jacques-Laurent Agasse im Januar 2016 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 162.500,00 (€ 150.018,46) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jacques-Laurent Agasse auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Dash, a setter in a wooded landscape im Juli 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 825.250,00 (€ 947.097,83).
