Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of A Gentleman, Circa 1795 by Jean-Baptiste Isabey was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 4,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 21,250.00 (€ 23,331.09). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jean-Baptiste Isabey - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait D'Eustachine-Jeanne D'Osmond, which sold at auction in June 2015 for EUR 47,500.00.
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman, Circa 1795 von Jean-Baptiste Isabey im Juli 2019 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 4.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 21.250,00 (€ 23.331,09) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Jean-Baptiste Isabey mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait D'Eustachine-Jeanne D'Osmond beobachtet, die im Juni 2015 für EUR 47.500,00 versteigert wurde.
