Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Apollo and Neptune advising Laomedon, after Domenichino by Jean-Germain Drouais was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2012. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 4,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,572.57). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean-Germain Drouais achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Marius At Minturnae in January 2014 with an auction result of USD 335,000.00 (€ 248,148.15).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Apollo and Neptune advising Laomedon, after Domenichino von Jean-Germain Drouais kam im Juli 2012 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 4.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 4.375,00 (€ 5.572,57) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean-Germain Drouais erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Marius At Minturnae im Januar 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 335.000,00 (€ 248.148,15).
