Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A piper and bagpiper, with subsidiary studies of their heads and hands (recto); Two figures outside a house and a woman carrying a basket on her head (verso) by Louis-Léopold Robert was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours auction at Christies in London in July 2014. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,518.25) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Louis-Léopold Robert have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Ein Hirte und seine schlafende Tochter / Un vieux pâtre et sa fille endormie. 1820. in April last year with an auction result of CHF 29,580.00 (€ 28,869.77).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A piper and bagpiper, with subsidiary studies of their heads and hands (recto); Two figures outside a house and a woman carrying a basket on her head (verso) von Louis-Léopold Robert wurde im Juli 2014 in der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.375,00 (€ 5.518,25) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Louis-Léopold Robert auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Ein Hirte und seine schlafende Tochter / Un vieux pâtre et sa fille endormie. 1820. im April letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von CHF 29.580,00 (€ 28.869,77).
