Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Jean-Honoré Fragonard achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in January 2013. In the Old Master Drawings auction, the work Scene From Ariosto'S Orlando Furioso: Angelica Reaches To The Shore sold for USD 74,500.00 (€ 54,843.93) - well above the upper estimate of USD 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean-Honoré Fragonard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le Verrou (The Bolt) in July 2007 with an auction result of GBP 5,172,000.00 (€ 7,681,613.89).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jean-Honoré Fragonard erzielte im Januar 2013 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Drawings wurde die Arbeit Scene From Ariosto'S Orlando Furioso: Angelica Reaches To The Shore für USD 74.500,00 (€ 54.843,93) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 35.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean-Honoré Fragonard erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Le Verrou (The Bolt) im Juli 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.172.000,00 (€ 7.681.613,89).
