Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Portrait of Marie José of Belgium (1906-2001), bust-length by Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,679.42). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The King's Daughter in October 2007 with an auction result of USD 73,000.00 (€ 50,456.18).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Portrait of Marie José of Belgium (1906-2001), bust-length von Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola im April 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.679,42) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The King's Daughter im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 73.000,00 (€ 50.456,18).
