Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of A Boy, In The Guise Of 'Pierrot', Circa 1790 by Marie-Anne Fragonard 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 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at GBP 9,375.00 (€ 10,407.28). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Marie-Anne Fragonard; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A young boy, full face in brown coat, brown shirt with white collar, fair hair sold at auction in November 2001 with the realized price of GBP 8,225.00 (€ 13,088.57).
Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of A Boy, In The Guise Of 'Pierrot', Circa 1790 von Marie-Anne Fragonard 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 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 9.375,00 (€ 10.407,28) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Marie-Anne Fragonard; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit A young boy, full face in brown coat, brown shirt with white collar, fair hair im November 2001 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 8.225,00 (€ 13.088,57).
