Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Jacques-Louis David could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in January 2015 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master Drawings auction, the work Study Of A Woman Resting Her Head changed hands for USD 5,313.00 (€ 4,705.93) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jacques-Louis David achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Ramel De Nogaret in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 7,209,000.00 (€ 4,630,652.62).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jacques-Louis David konnte im Januar 2015 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master Drawings wechselte die Arbeit Study Of A Woman Resting Her Head für USD 5.313,00 (€ 4.705,93) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jacques-Louis David erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Ramel De Nogaret im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.209.000,00 (€ 4.630.652,62).
