Auction result well in line with expectations
The work ODYSSEY, STUDY OF THE FIGURE FOR THE APOTHEOSIS BY HOMER by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres was sold in the Tableaux Dessins Sculptures 1300-1900 auction at Sothebys in Paris in December 2020. The price achieved of EUR 100,800.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait de la comtesse de La Rue in February 2009 with an auction result of EUR 2,081,000.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit ODYSSEY, STUDY OF THE FIGURE FOR THE APOTHEOSIS BY HOMER von Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres wurde im Dezember 2020 in der Auktion Tableaux Dessins Sculptures 1300-1900 bei Sothebys in Paris versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 100.800,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait de la comtesse de La Rue im Februar 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 2.081.000,00.
