Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Jean Raoux could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in January 2007 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Important Old Master Paintings and European Works of Art auction, the work Two Young Ladies Singing In An Elegant Interior changed hands for USD 18,000.00 (€ 13,848.28) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Admittedly, works by Jean Raoux have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work L'incontro di Enea e Didone prima della caccia reale in December 2001 with an auction result of ITL 71,050,000.00 (€ 63,857.99).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jean Raoux konnte im Januar 2007 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Important Old Master Paintings and European Works of Art wechselte die Arbeit Two Young Ladies Singing In An Elegant Interior für USD 18.000,00 (€ 13.848,28) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jean Raoux auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit L'incontro di Enea e Didone prima della caccia reale im Dezember 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von ITL 71.050.000,00 (€ 63.857,99).
