Auction result misses estimated price range
In February 2024 a collector was able to acquire the work The man and the grass snake (Jean de La Fontaine, Fables choisies, book X, fable 1) by Jean-Baptiste Oudry for USD 9,450.00 (€ 8,259.05). This price was achieved in the auction Old Master & British Drawings at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00 set by the auction house. 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).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Februar 2024 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The man and the grass snake (Jean de La Fontaine, Fables choisies, book X, fable 1) von Jean-Baptiste Oudry für USD 9.450,00 (€ 8.259,05) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 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).
