Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of A Gentleman by Louis Marie Sicardi was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 15,000.00 (€ 16,651.65). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Louis Marie Sicardi; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A girl called Mademoiselle Victorine de Chastenay-Lanty, full face in white dress with laced green bodice and fichu, posy of forget-me-nots pinned at corsage, forget-me-nots, blue ribbon and large straw hat in her long powdered curled hair dressed à sold at auction in April 2002 with the realized price of GBP 15,275.00 (€ 24,714.5
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman von Louis Marie Sicardi im Mai 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 15.000,00 (€ 16.651,65) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Louis Marie Sicardi; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit A girl called Mademoiselle Victorine de Chastenay-Lanty, full face in white dress with laced green bodice and fichu, posy of forget-me-nots pinned at corsage, forget-me-nots, blue ribbon and large straw hat in her long powdered curled hair dressed à im April 2002 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 15.275,00 (€ 24.714,55).
