Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Allegory Of Peace by John Francis Rigaud was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2016, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,654.26). Admittedly, works by John Francis Rigaud have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait of Lady Jane Mildmay, seated three-quarter-length, in a white silk dress playing the harp in January 2005 with an auction result of USD 84,000.00 (€ 64,372.75).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Allegory Of Peace von John Francis Rigaud im Juli 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.654,26) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Francis Rigaud auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait of Lady Jane Mildmay, seated three-quarter-length, in a white silk dress playing the harp im Januar 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 84.000,00 (€ 64.372,75).
