Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Figures in historical costume in a mausoleum by Louis Haghe was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 325.00 (€ 367.74). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Louis Haghe achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Interior Of St Peter'S, Rome in December 2015 with an auction result of GBP 18,750.00 (€ 25,461.60).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Figures in historical costume in a mausoleum von Louis Haghe im März 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 325,00 (€ 367,74) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Louis Haghe erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Interior Of St Peter'S, Rome im Dezember 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 18.750,00 (€ 25.461,60).
