Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A lady, facing right in turquoise dress with double lace cuffs and fichu, black lace shawl, posy of lilac at corsage, powdered curling hair; seated in a blue-upholstered giltwood chair, holding a red bound book in her right hand and leaning on a blue by Louis Sené was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2000. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,645.00 (€ 2,639.62) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Louis Sené have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait Of A Lady, Circa 1795 in May 2020 with an auction result of GBP 10,625.00 (€ 11,794.92).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A lady, facing right in turquoise dress with double lace cuffs and fichu, black lace shawl, posy of lilac at corsage, powdered curling hair; seated in a blue-upholstered giltwood chair, holding a red bound book in her right hand and leaning on a blue von Louis Sené kam im Mai 2000 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.645,00 (€ 2.639,62) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Louis Sené auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady, Circa 1795 im Mai 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 10.625,00 (€ 11.794,92).
