Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of A Lady, Circa 1795 by Jean-Baptiste Joseph Le Tellier was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 5,292.00 (€ 6,087.34). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Jean-Baptiste Joseph Le Tellier; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A mother and child; she, facing right in black sleeveless gown with white underdress, pink stole, long light brown curling hair; holding her young baby beside her with white robe draped across his body, auburn hair; rock, foliate and landscape backgr sold at auction in May 2000 with the realized price of GBP 7,050.00 (€
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady, Circa 1795 von Jean-Baptiste Joseph Le Tellier im April 2021 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.292,00 (€ 6.087,34) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Jean-Baptiste Joseph Le Tellier; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit A mother and child; she, facing right in black sleeveless gown with white underdress, pink stole, long light brown curling hair; holding her young baby beside her with white robe draped across his body, auburn hair; rock, foliate and landscape backgr im Mai 2000 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 7.050,00 (€ 11.312,65).
