Sold at the lower estimate price
The work An Architectural Capriccio With Ancient Ruins, A Triumphal Arch And An Haut-Relief Sculpture, With The Story Of Mercury And Argus by Jean Lemaire was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale auction at Sothebys in London in July 2013. The result of GBP 30,000.00 (€ 34,280.23) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 30,000.00 – 40,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jean Lemaire - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Theseus recovering his father's sword, which sold at auction in April 2000 for GBP 78,550.00 (€ 134,474.42).

Die Arbeit An Architectural Capriccio With Ancient Ruins, A Triumphal Arch And An Haut-Relief Sculpture, With The Story Of Mercury And Argus von Jean Lemaire wurde im Juli 2013 in der Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 30.000,00 (€ 34.280,23) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 40.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Jean Lemaire mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Theseus recovering his father's sword beobachtet, die im April 2000 für GBP 78.550,00 (€ 134.474,42) versteigert wurde.
