Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2002 Christies in New York held the auction Old Master and 19th Century Drawings including Property from, which included the work Study of a male nude, seen from behind by Joseph-Benoît Suvée. The price achieved of USD 6,462.50 (€ 7,519.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Joseph-Benoît Suvée - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work View Of The Esquiline Hill And The Basilica Of Sta. Maria Maggiore In Rome, which sold at auction in July 2007 for GBP 19,200.00 (€ 28,516.43).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2002 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Master and 19th Century Drawings including Property from durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study of a male nude, seen from behind von Joseph-Benoît Suvée zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 6.462,50 (€ 7.519,78) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Joseph-Benoît Suvée mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit View Of The Esquiline Hill And The Basilica Of Sta. Maria Maggiore In Rome beobachtet, die im Juli 2007 für GBP 19.200,00 (€ 28.516,43) versteigert wurde.
