Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in April 2018. In the Old Masters Part II auction, the work The Return Of Abraham To The Land Of Canaan sold for USD 102,500.00 (€ 84,893.16) - well above the upper estimate of USD 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Charles And Ubalde, Surrounded By Nymphs On Their Way To Rescue Renaud From The Palais D'Armide, which sold at auction in February 2018 for USD 325,000.00 (€ 266,153.47).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée erzielte im April 2018 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters Part II wurde die Arbeit The Return Of Abraham To The Land Of Canaan für USD 102.500,00 (€ 84.893,16) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 50.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Charles And Ubalde, Surrounded By Nymphs On Their Way To Rescue Renaud From The Palais D'Armide beobachtet, die im Februar 2018 für USD 325.000,00 (€ 266.153,47) versteigert wurde.
