Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Figures Gathered Outside An Inn by Jean-Louis de Marne was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 4,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 13,200.00 (€ 19,588.14). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jean-Louis de Marne - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Travelling peasants with their cattle and sheep in a landscape; and Figures with animals outside an inn beside a wheat field, which sold at auction in January 2005 for USD 72,000.00 (€ 55,176.64).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Figures Gathered Outside An Inn von Jean-Louis de Marne im Juni 2007 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 4.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 13.200,00 (€ 19.588,14) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Jean-Louis de Marne mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Travelling peasants with their cattle and sheep in a landscape; and Figures with animals outside an inn beside a wheat field beobachtet, die im Januar 2005 für USD 72.000,00 (€ 55.176,64) versteigert wurde.
