Despite a disappointment, a good price for Jean Baptiste Guth
This work of art by Jean Baptiste Guth could be acquired at Christies in London in December 2005 for an unexpectedly low price. In the JOHN FRANKS COLL. OF ORIGINAL WATERCOLOURS FOR VANITY FAIR auction, the work Major Esterhazy Military Officer and Spy changed hands for GBP 1,800.00 (€ 2,612.60) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Major Esterhazy Military Officer and Spy is the most expensive artwork by Jean Baptiste Guth that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Jean Baptiste Guth
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jean Baptiste Guth konnte im Dezember 2005 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion JOHN FRANKS COLL. OF ORIGINAL WATERCOLOURS FOR VANITY FAIR wechselte die Arbeit Major Esterhazy Military Officer and Spy für GBP 1.800,00 (€ 2.612,60) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Major Esterhazy Military Officer and Spy das teuerste Kunstwerk von Jean Baptiste Guth, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
