Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2008 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master Paintings Evening Sale, which included the work A Young Woman, Dressed À La Grecque, Holding A Canary On Her Outstretched Finger by Joseph-Marie Vien. The price achieved of GBP 241,250.00 (€ 253,382.70) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Joseph-Marie Vien - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Women In Classical Dress Attending A Young Bride, which sold at auction in February 2018 for USD 855,000.00 (€ 700,188.35).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2008 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master Paintings Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Young Woman, Dressed À La Grecque, Holding A Canary On Her Outstretched Finger von Joseph-Marie Vien zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 241.250,00 (€ 253.382,70) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Joseph-Marie Vien mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Women In Classical Dress Attending A Young Bride beobachtet, die im Februar 2018 für USD 855.000,00 (€ 700.188,35) versteigert wurde.
