Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Mother And Child In A Landscape by Marie-Gabrielle Capet was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 5,848.97). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Marie-Gabrielle Capet - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait De François-André Vincent, which sold at auction in November 2017 for EUR 15,600.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Mother And Child In A Landscape von Marie-Gabrielle Capet im Dezember 2018 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 5.250,00 (€ 5.848,97) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Marie-Gabrielle Capet mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait De François-André Vincent beobachtet, die im November 2017 für EUR 15.600,00 versteigert wurde.
