Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2010 Sothebys in London held the auction 19th Century European Paintings Including Spanish Painting, The Orientalist Sale, and German, Austrian, Scandinavian and Symbolist Works, which included the work Spanish dora La Cordobesa (Dora The Cordoban) by Julio Romero de Torres. The price achieved of GBP 37,250.00 (€ 44,513.69) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Julio Romero de Torres achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Fuensanta in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 826,900.00 (€ 1,157,873.93).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2010 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion 19th Century European Paintings Including Spanish Painting, The Orientalist Sale, and German, Austrian, Scandinavian and Symbolist Works durch, in der auch die Arbeit Spanish dora La Cordobesa (Dora The Cordoban) von Julio Romero de Torres zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 37.250,00 (€ 44.513,69) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Julio Romero de Torres erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Fuensanta im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 826.900,00 (€ 1.157.873,93).
