Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A young lady, facing left in a blue dress and fichu with tassels, her blonde hair upswept by Jean Baptiste Soyer was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2003. The price achieved of GBP 352.50 (€ 460.74) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 400.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean Baptiste Soyer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Margaretha Bachofen-Heitz (1735-1819) And Her Husband Martin Bachofen (1727-1814) in December 2018 with an auction result of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,570.44).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A young lady, facing left in a blue dress and fichu with tassels, her blonde hair upswept von Jean Baptiste Soyer kam im Juli 2003 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 352,50 (€ 460,74) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300,00 – 400,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean Baptiste Soyer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Margaretha Bachofen-Heitz (1735-1819) And Her Husband Martin Bachofen (1727-1814) im Dezember 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.570,44).
