Auction result misses estimated price range

In January 2014 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait Of A Gentleman by Louis-Michel van Loo for USD 37,500.00 (€ 27,777.78). This price was achieved in the auction Old Master Paintings at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Louis-Michel van Loo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of The Comtesse Marie Louise De Beaurepaire, Seated Full Length In A Landscape Holding A Garland Of Flowers in July 2008 with an auction result of GBP 433,250.00 (€ 550,449.00).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Januar 2014 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman von Louis-Michel van Loo für USD 37.500,00 (€ 27.777,78) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Master Paintings bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Louis-Michel van Loo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of The Comtesse Marie Louise De Beaurepaire, Seated Full Length In A Landscape Holding A Garland Of Flowers im Juli 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 433.250,00 (€ 550.449,00).
