A top price for Jean François Portaels - as previously expected
In June 2006 Christies in London held the auction 19th Century European Art Including Orientalist and Spanish Art, which included the work The Pearl Necklace by Jean François Portaels. The price achieved of GBP 84,000.00 (€ 121,546.60) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 70,000.00 – 100,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Pearl Necklace is the most expensive artwork by Jean François Portaels that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juni 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th Century European Art Including Orientalist and Spanish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Pearl Necklace von Jean François Portaels zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 84.000,00 (€ 121.546,60) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 70.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Pearl Necklace das teuerste Kunstwerk von Jean François Portaels, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
