Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Master Paintings and Drawings, which included the work Study for a portrait of Gaspare Spontini (1774-1851) by Louis Hersent. The price achieved of USD 1,008.00 (€ 872.58) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Louis Hersent achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ruth Et Booz in June 2008 with an auction result of EUR 16,250.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Master Paintings and Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study for a portrait of Gaspare Spontini (1774-1851) von Louis Hersent zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.008,00 (€ 872,58) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Louis Hersent erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ruth Et Booz im Juni 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 16.250,00.
