This artwork by Jean-Baptiste Oudry achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2020. In the Old Master & British Drawings Including Works from the Collection of Jean Bonna auction, the work Stags hunted by wolves sold for USD 50,000.00 (€ 45,073.47) - well above the upper estimate of USD 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean-Baptiste Oudry achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Album containing a frontispiece and 138 illustrations for books I to VI of the Fables of Jean de La Fontaine in January this year with an auction result of USD 2,700,000.00 (€ 2,486,645.79).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jean-Baptiste Oudry erzielte im Januar 2020 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings Including Works from the Collection of Jean Bonna wurde die Arbeit Stags hunted by wolves für USD 50.000,00 (€ 45.073,47) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 25.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean-Baptiste Oudry erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Album containing a frontispiece and 138 illustrations for books I to VI of the Fables of Jean de La Fontaine im Januar diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.700.000,00 (€ 2.486.645,79).
