Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A Farewell: An African Couple embracing in a Landscape by Théodore Géricault was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2021. The price achieved of GBP 252,000.00 (€ 295,522.25) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Théodore Géricault achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait d'Alfred et Elisabeth Dedreux in February 2009 with an auction result of EUR 9,025,000.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A Farewell: An African Couple embracing in a Landscape von Théodore Géricault kam im Juli 2021 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 252.000,00 (€ 295.522,25) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Théodore Géricault erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait d'Alfred et Elisabeth Dedreux im Februar 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 9.025.000,00.
