Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In July 2017 Christies in London held the auction Old Masters Day Sale, which included the work An Allegory of Music: Orpheus, Pluto and Euridices by Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 50,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 52,500.00 (€ 58,581.94). Admittedly, works by Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Charles And Ubalde, Surrounded By Nymphs On Their Way To Rescue Renaud From The Palais D'Armide in February 2018 with an auction result of USD 325,000.00 (€ 266,153.47).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Juli 2017 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Masters Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit An Allegory of Music: Orpheus, Pluto and Euridices von Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 50.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 52.500,00 (€ 58.581,94) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Charles And Ubalde, Surrounded By Nymphs On Their Way To Rescue Renaud From The Palais D'Armide im Februar 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 325.000,00 (€ 266.153,47).
