Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work An Oriental Beauty by Jean François Portaels was sold in the Orientalist Art auction at Christies in London in June 2010. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 43,250.00 (€ 52,596.03), 24% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jean François Portaels - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Pearl Necklace, which sold at auction in June 2006 for GBP 84,000.00 (€ 121,546.60).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
