Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2008 Sothebys in London held the auction European Paintings including German, Austrian & Central European Paintings and The Orientalist Sale, which included the work Belgian Sisters by Jean François Portaels. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 10,625.00 (€ 13,515.46) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Jean François Portaels have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Pearl Necklace in June 2006 with an auction result of GBP 84,000.00 (€ 121,546.60).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2008 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion European Paintings including German, Austrian & Central European Paintings and The Orientalist Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Belgian Sisters von Jean François Portaels zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 10.625,00 (€ 13.515,46) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jean François Portaels auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Pearl Necklace im Juni 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 84.000,00 (€ 121.546,60).
